The Thumbstick Click Board? is a quality input board that makes it easy for the users to add a high precision analogue thumb joystick to their design. This Click Board? features an MCP3204 12-bit A/D converter. It also has got a pushbutton enabled joystick with dual-axis and spring return. This joystick is quite similar to the ones used on joypads on popular gaming consoles like PS2 and Xbox controllers. Thumbstick Click Board? has a typical life span of 100,000 cycles. With the help of two potentiometers connected to a stick, directional input gets received in the x and y axes of the joystick unit. An interrupt signal to the target board microcontroller is sent by the mechanical push button. The MCP3204 12-bit A/D converter then converts the analogue signal to digital. To output this digital signal to the target board, the?Thumbstick Click Board? makes use of MikroBUS SPI (CS, SCK, MISO and MOSI) lines.
