A simple 6 axis (3 joysticks x 2 axis) throttle quadrant for Arduino Micro or Leonardo Version 1.0

Jarno Rankinen

Requirements: Arduino Micro (or Leonardo, as long as its with the ATMega32U4 chip)

6 linear slide potentiometers (10 kOhm is OK)

Wires

USB-microUSB cable

Breadboard (optional)

Arduino IDE

Arduino Joystick library: https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary/tree/version-1.0 This sketch uses the Joystick3.h -library Download ZIP and place Joystick3 folder to your Documents/Arduino/libraries directory

  • slider's GND to Arduino GND
  • slider's VCC to corresponding analog input

The SIGNAL pin of the slider is left unconnected.

The pins in the slider are as follows:

    _____
   | |   |  Vcc
   |   | |  SIG
   |     |
   |     |
   |     |
   |     |
   |     |
   |  |  |  GND
