How to Use a Joystick with Arduino: Wiring and Basic Controls

In this PART 1 of our Arduino Joystick series, learn how to connect an analog joystick to an Arduino Uno. I'll guide you through the wiring process and explain how the joystick's X and Y values determine its position. You'll also discover how to use these values to control other Arduino components effectively. From building robots you can directly maneuver to creating interactive games, this tutorial will help you get started with joysticks for your Arduino projects.
