- A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling.
- Joysticks are often used to control video games, and usually have one or more push-buttons whose state can also be read by the computer.

Herein, how does an analog joystick work?
While digital sticks rely on single electrical connections for movement (using internal digital electrical contacts for up, down, left and right), analog sticks use continuous electrical activity running through potentiometers to measure the exact position of the stick within its full range of motion.
Beside above, how does a joystick potentiometer work? Each potentiometer is connected to one of the joystick shafts so that pivoting the shaft rotates the contact arm. In other words, if you push the stick all the way forward, it will turn the potentiometer contact arm to one end of the track, and if you pull it back toward you, it will turn the contact arm the other way.
Thereof, how do you make a joystick?
- Step 1: Tools You Need. Plastic Bottle.

- Step 3: Now Add It With Costape.
- Step 4: Take Another Slices.
- Step 5: Take a Aluminium Foil and Foam.
- Step 6: Add the Ball With Slices of Plastic Bottle.
- Step 7: Add a Rubber Band With the Joystick.
- Step 8: Smartphone Joysticks Is Ready to Play.
How does a joystick work?
Basically, joystick detects the direction you are holding the stick in by use of an electronic switch. There is a printed circuit board inside the joystick base. The terminals can't complete the electric circuit when the joystick is in a neutral state (the stick is not pressing the contacts into the 'on' position).
How do you control a motor with a joystick?
- Connect the VCC on the joystick module with the 5V pin on the Arduino.
- Connect the GND pin on the joystick module with the GND on the Arduino.
- Connect the VER pin on the joystick module with the A0 on the Arduino.
- Connect the HOR pin on the joystick module with the A1 on the Arduino.
