How to Use the Joystick Module Dual Axis

1. Connect the module to your microcontroller: wire X and Y analog outputs to ADC pins, and connect power (VCC) and ground.
2. Install or load a sample Arduino joystick library or example sketch to read analog values from the axes.
3. Calibrate the joystick in software to map center and endpoint values to your application range.
4. Test input using the serial monitor or a simple dashboard, then integrate the joystick input into motor control, UI navigation, or other control loops.
5. Adjust sensitivity or range in software; fine-tune potentiometer endpoints if necessary.

Technical Notes

• If your microcontroller ADC reference is lower than the module supply, scale readings in software accordingly.
• Debounce or smooth noisy readings in firmware to improve control stability for precise applications.
• Check pin labels on your specific module variant before wiring; some boards include headers or solder pads.
