Customer Questions & Answers
What are the exact dimensions and weight of the Arduino Joystick Shield, and what is included in the package at the time of purchase?
The board dimensions are 87 mm × 54 mm × 18 mm (length × width × height). Approximate weight is 32 g. The standard package includes only the assembled shield, without cables or additional wireless modules.
How is the shield mounted on the Arduino, and are there any recommendations to avoid damage from incorrect connection?
Installation is straightforward: insert the shield into the headers on the Arduino board, making sure all pins match and are fully aligned. It is recommended to check the orientation before powering up and to select the correct voltage to avoid possible damage from overvoltage on connected modules.
What operational limits does the joystick have in terms of accuracy and durability in demanding applications?
The standard analogue joystick supports an approximate functional angular range of ±22° per axis, with an average lifespan of 100,000 cycles. Accuracy is determined by the Arduino board's AD converter (typically 10 bits); for high-precision or intensive-use applications, it may be advisable to consider industrial joysticks.
Which Arduino boards is the Arduino Joystick Shield compatible with?
It is compatible with Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega boards.
What voltage options does this board support?
It supports selectable voltages of 3,3V and 5V.
What wireless connections does the shield include?
It includes connections for RF24L01 modules, Bluetooth and I2C communication.
What is this board mainly used for?
It is used for game development and interactive projects with a joystick and buttons on Arduino.
