dsPIC/PIC24 (16-bit)

Thumbstick Click is a compact add-on board that can fulfill your directional analog input needs. This board features COM-09032, a high-quality 2-axis analog output thumbstick from Sparkfun. This small joystick is a 'self-centering' analog type with a black rocker cap similar to the ones used on joypads on popular gaming consoles. It comprises two 10kΩ potentiometers, one for up/down and another for left/right direction. Knowing that this joystick represents an analog type, it connects with mikroBUS™ through the SPI interface through the Microchip's MCP3204 12-bit A/D converter. This Click board™ is suitable for numerous applications as a human-machine interface device (HMI), robotics, and other control interfaces.

Thumbstick Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
