*Matrix-Joystick是一个双轴按键摇杆模块,由两个滑动变阻器和一个按键组成。PS2游戏用的就是这种摇杆,两路模拟量输出,一路数字量输出,X,Y轴输出为两个电位器,可以通过AD转换读出扭动角度。向下按摇杆,可以出动一路轻触开关,为数字输出,已上拉。适用于两自由度舵机云台控制或者其他遥控比例控制。

==Basic Device Operation==
*模块特设二路模拟输出和一路数字输出接口,输出值分别对应(X,Y)双轴偏移量,其类型为模拟量;按键表示用户是否在Z轴上按下,其类型为数字开关量。模块集成电源指示灯,可显示工作状态;坐标标识符清晰简明、准确定位。<br>

* It has two analog outputs and one digital output. The two analog outputs are measured as X and Y values as the calibrated resistance of the two potentiometers. The digital output is measured as Z value indicating whether or not the button is pressed. <br>
*为了更加方便地配合扩展板等标准接口,在设计上把 X,Y,Z 轴的电路都单独引出,以控制输入这个操纵杆模块的 x、y、z 的值以及在特定的值下实现某种功能。
+
* We extend all three outputs: X, Y and Z and users can use them easily.
  
==下载Matrix源码==
 
Matrix配件相关的代码是完全开源的,统一由一个仓库进行管理:git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git <br>
 
该仓库里不同的分支代表着Matrix配件所支持的不同开发板。<br>
 
* nanopi分支包含了Matrix对NanoPi的支持;
 
* tiny4412分支包含了Matrix对Tiny4412的支持;
 
* raspberrypi分支包含了Matrix对RaspberryPi的支持;

==Compile & Run Test Program==
 +
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.
 +
 
 +
Compile and install Matrix:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ cd matrix
 +
$ make && make install
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
Run test program:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ matrix-joystick
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.<br>
 +
Here is what you should observe:<br>
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
x=1280 y=1280
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
When you move the stick you will see X and Y's value changes.
 +
 
 +
==Code Sample==
 +
This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-joystick". Here is its source code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
 +

    int i = 0;
 +
    int x, y, board;
 +
   
 +
    x = y = 0;
 +
    if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) {

1 Introduction

Joystick
  • The matrix-joystick module is a two-axis stick module. It consists of two Sliding rheostats and one button. It has two analog outputs and one digital output. Its positional states can be measured as X and Y axis values as the calibrated resistance of the two potentiometers.
  • When you move the joystick the sliding rheostats' resistance will change and the corresponding x/y values will change too. When you push the joystick the SW level will turn low.

2 Features

  • X and Y axis, and one button
  • 2.54mm spacing pin
  • PCB dimension(mm): 24 X 32

GND Ground
5V Supply Voltage 5V
SW Button
X X Axis
Y Y Axis

3 Basic Device Operation

  • It has two analog outputs and one digital output. The two analog outputs are measured as X and Y values as the calibrated resistance of the two potentiometers. The digital output is measured as Z value indicating whether or not the button is pressed.
  • We extend all three outputs: X, Y and Z and users can use them easily.


4 Applications

The Matrix-Joystick module outputs analog signals which can be converted to digital signals with an ADC converter e.g. the Matrix-Analog_to_Digital_Converter.
For more details about the Matrix-Analog_to_Digital_Converter module refer to wiki: Matrix_-_Analog_to_Digital_Converter.

5 Compile & Run Test Program

Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:

$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.

Compile and install Matrix:

$ cd matrix
$ make && make install

Run test program:

$ matrix-joystick

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:

x=1280 y=1280

When you move the stick you will see X and Y's value changes.
