114 Make: Robotic Arms

Just as before, most of our code looks the same.

The key differences are the few areas of code in

which we’ve added the variables associated with

our joysticks back in. In the area above our void

setup, we’re created two new variables, xval and

yval. These are the variables we’ll use to store

our joystick data. Next, inside of our void loop,

we assign a value to our two joystick variables

through the analogRead() command by using

our two analog input pins to read the changing

voltages coming from the two axes of the

joysticks. Lastly, we create a series of conditional

statements based on the position of the joysticks
