2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 Thumbstick click 2 3 4. Essential features Thumbstick click is a high precision 1. Introduction input device. The dual axis, spring return, pushbutton enabled joystick is similar to the ones used on joypads on popular gaming consoles like Playstation or Xbox. It has two potentiometers connected to a stick for receiving directional input in the x and y Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure axes. The mechanical pushbutton sends an the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are interrupt signal to the microcontroller. The Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the on-board MCP3204 12-bit A/D converter appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. sends the digital signal through SPI lines. Thumbstick click is a simple solution for 3. Plugging the board in adding an analog thumb joystick to your click design. Along with the dual axis joystick Once you have soldered the headers your unit, the board also carries an MCP3204 board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARD 12-bit A/D converter. Thumbstick click mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the www.mikroe.com communicates with the target board cut in the lower-right part of the board microcontroller through mikroBUS with the markings on the silkscreen at the Thumbstick click manual SPI (CS, SCK, MISO and MOSI) lines. The mikroBUS socket. If all the pins are aligned ver. 1.00 board is designed to use either a 3.3V or correctly, push the board all the way a 5V power supply. into the socket. 0 100000 026632 5. Thumbstick click board schematic 6. SMD jumper There is a single SMD jumper (zero-ohm resistor) J1 which is used to select between 3.3V or 5V power supplies. By default, its soldered in the 3.3V position. 7. Code examples Once you have done all the necessary preparations, its time to get your click board up and running. We have provided examples for mikroC , mikroBasic and mikroPascal compilers on our Libstock website. Just download them and you are ready to startcom 8.
