Description
The KY-023 XY Joystick Module is a dual-axis analogue controller perfect for adding intuitive user input to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and microcontroller projects.
Featuring two potentiometers for X and Y directional input, and a push-button switch when pressed down, the KY-023 is ideal for controlling robots, games, menus, servos, and camera gimbals.
This module outputs two analogue voltages and a digital signal, providing smooth control and accurate positioning. Its thumbstick-style interface makes it familiar and comfortable for users, just like a game controller.
