 +
* 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.

==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. <br>
 +
* We extend all three outputs: X, Y and Z and users can use them easily.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
==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.<br>
 +

==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 main(int argc, char ** argv)
 +
{
 +
    int i = 0;
 +
    int x, y, board;
 +
   
 +
    x = y = 0;
 +
    if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) {
 +
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
 +
        return -1;
 +
    }
 +
   
 +
    system("modprobe "DRIVER_MODULE);
 +
    signal(SIGINT, intHandler);
 +
    for (i=0; i<PS2_READ_TIMES; i++) {
 +
        if (pcf8591Read(1, &x) != -1 && pcf8591Read(2, &y) != -1) {
 +
            printf("x=%4d y=%4d\n", x, y);
 +
        }
 +
    }
 +
    system("rmmod "DRIVER_MODULE);
 +
    return 0;
 +
}
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
For more details about this APIs called in this code sample refer to [[Matrix API reference manual]] <br>
 +
<!---
 +
==Download Matrix Source Code==
 +
All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub - https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git <br>
 +
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.<br>
 +
* The nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
 +
* The nanopi 2 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi 2
 +
* The tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412
 +
* The raspberrypi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the RaspberryPi
 +
 
 +
Please follow the steps below to get the source code:<br>
 +
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ sudo apt-get install git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
Clone the matrix code from GitHub
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.

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

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.

6 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: 

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int i = 0;
    int x, y, board;
 
    x = y = 0;
    if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) {
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
        return -1;
    }
 
    system("modprobe "DRIVER_MODULE);
    signal(SIGINT, intHandler);
    for (i=0; i<PS2_READ_TIMES; i++) {
        if (pcf8591Read(1, &x) != -1 && pcf8591Read(2, &y) != -1) {
            printf("x=%4d y=%4d\n", x, y);
        }
    }
    system("rmmod "DRIVER_MODULE);
    return 0;
}
