The PS4 joystick is similar to two potentiometers joined together. One in the x-axis for the vertical movement and one in the y-axis for horizontal movement. It also has a press button which can be pressed and detected by the Arduino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First we will make the basic circuit as follows;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ground pin is the negative terminal. The +5V pin is the positive. The VRx pin and VRy pin will communicate the position of the joystick with respect to the x-axis and y-axis respectively. The SW Pin will communicate the state of the button present in the PS4 joystick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will first interface the X & Y position of the joystick using the code below. When you upload this code and view the serial monitor, you should see the X & Y positions of the joystick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any queries or suggestions feel free to comment them below or write to us at ideas@botuniverse.in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Basic Info about the PS4 Joystick The PS4 joystick module is a very vital component in making Arduino systems.
