I have started this joystick controller experiment inspired by the need of a simple DIY joystick which could deliver greater flexibility in the possible designs. Hardware component basis is very ...

If you want to make your Arduino project more compact, an Arduino Shield is the answer. The Arduino Shield is a neat piece of hardware that sits on top of your Arduino board. It is typically designed ...

In this project, we create a joystick-controlled laser by connecting two servos to a joystick and using this setup as a pan-and-tilt controller for a laser pointer. The following is excerpted from the ...

Servo Motor Control using Joystick and Buzzer. This project demonstrates the control of a servo motor using a joystick module, with an additional feature to trigger a buzzer using a button switch. It ...

Interfacing your own hardware with a Java app couldn’t be easier than this example. [Pn] created this proof-of-concept using an Arduino, an analog joystick from a gaming controller, and a few lines of ...

Building on the foundation of my previous article, MATLAB & the Arduino Hardware Support Package: A Powerful Combination for Engineering & Embedded Systems, we now delve into an applied project that ...

There are plenty of PC joysticks out there, but that didn’t stop [dizekat] from building his own. Most joysticks measure position mechanically using potentiometers or encoders. Only a few high-end ...

Arduino’s brand-new Esplora microcontroller, packed with prebuilt sensors and features, could indicate a move for the DIY electronics company toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.

Even though games like Infinity Blade can be great fun on the iPhone, there's no getting around the fact that touchscreen-centric, buttonless devices don't offer the best gaming ergonomics. A modding ...
