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

• Pin Description:

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 Download Matrix Source Code

All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub - https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.

• 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:
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04

$ sudo apt-get install git

Clone the matrix code from GitHub

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.

5 Connect to NanoPi 2

5.1 Hardware Connection

参考下图连接模块Matrix-Joystick和NanoPi 2：

连接说明：

5.2 编译测试程序

进入Matrix代码仓库，切换到nanopi2分支

$ cd matrix
$ git checkout nanopi2

编译Matrix配件代码

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- clean
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- install

注意：请确保你的主机PC当前使用的交叉编译器为NanoPi 2配套的arm-linux-gcc-4.9.3。
编译成功后库文件位于install/lib目录下，而测试程序则位于install/usr/bin目录下，模块Matrix-Joystick对应的测试程序为matrix-joystick。
硬件驱动模块位于modules目录下，对应的驱动源码都包含在在NanoPi 2的Linux内核仓库里：https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y.git

5.3 运行测试程序

将带有Debian系统的SD卡插入一台运行Linux的电脑，可以挂载SD卡上的boot和rootfs分区。
假设rootfs分区的挂载路径为/media/rootfs，执行以下命令将Matrix的硬件驱动、库文件和测试程序拷贝到NanoPi 2的文件系统上。

$ cp modules /media/rootfs/ -r
$ cp install/lib/* /media/rootfs/lib/ -d
$ cp install/usr/bin/* /media/rootfs/usr/bin/

将SD卡重新插入NanoPi 2，上电启动，在Debian的shell终端中执行以下命令加载硬件驱动。

$ cd /modules
$ insmod pcf8591.ko

运行模块Matrix-Joystick的测试程序。

$ matrix-joystick

运行效果如下：

5.4 Code Sample

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int i = 0;
    int x, y;
 
    x = y = 0;
    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);
        }
    }
    return 0;
}
