STEP 1: WIRING OUR JOYSTICKS BACK IN

Just as in our previous joystick examples, we have four connections we

need to make (Figure

6-11

). The positive voltage pin of our joystick will

be connected to the 5 V pin on our Arduino through the power rails of

our breadboard, the GND pin will be connected to the GND rail of the

breadboard, and the x and y pins of the joystick will be connected to the A0

and A1 pins on our Arduino.

Now that we have wired all the components we’ll need, the final step will be

to add the code we used to read the values of our joystick back in and use

those values to manipulate the ...
