Analogue Mini Thumbstick Breakout Board

The Analogue Mini Thumbstick Breakout Board provides a simple way to mount and connect an analogue thumbstick to a microcontroller, with X/Y axis outputs, 0.1" header connections and panel-mounting support. Thumbstick not included.

Are you itching for an easy way to mount a PSP-like thumb joystick to your project? This Analogue Mini Thumbstick Breakout Board will help you do just that! This is a neat little PCB, on which you can mount a joystick/thumbstick - we recommend this one. Since it's analogue, you'll need two analogue reading pins on your microcontroller to determine X and Y. We designed the breakout so that you can attach the thumbstick to a panel easily. A 4-pin 0.1" spaced header makes it easy to connect either in a perfboard/breadboard setting or free wiring, with header on both siders it is mechanically stable. You'll need to solder a thumbstick into the PCB using a soldering iron and solder, but its very simple and will only take a minute. Includes 1 x 8-pin 0.1 inch male header. Thumbstick is not included. Features
