Joystick is a smaller project I did during my education. Joystick is just what it name says, a joystick. Whilst not having special features joystick responds to several games and can be coded to be usable for several environments. Origally meant for a friendly game of snake: Joystick offers a traditional, yet efficient solution.
By suplying the user with a big box to rest one or both hands on as well as a joystick to control with a thumb, a hand, or even two hands, joystick can be used for all kind of games and applications. The sensetivity is programmable and can be changed depending on the usecase.
Joystick has a simple layout, using the following components:
-Arduino one board
-A joystick module
-Female to male wires
-Foam plate
-Hot glue
In future applications joystick can of course be given a more premium choice of materials, as well as more applicable components and a interchangable and upgradable layout. The side effect of hot glueing everything together is being stuck with the original layout. That means no chance of maintenance.
