This program prints the value of the X and Y analog outputs of the joystick.
Since I didn’t know what analog voltage I was supposed to receive,

I simply ran the program and noted the analog input values when the
Joystick was in the center, left, right, down, and up.

Now with those values, I could calibrate my program to know when to move
the cursor to the left, right, up, and down.

Here is part of the BASIC code for the XAxis:

MLeft and MRight are sub functions that will simply re-draw the cursor about 8 pixels to the left and right.

I would give about value of 10 (AD input returns a value between 0 to 1024
for voltage between 0 and 5V), as a safety value for debouncing and shakes.

Likewise, I made similar functions for up, down, and diagonal directions.

Download JoyStick Program here

Well you can download the JoyStick Program using CublocStudio and see this initial screen:

Completed Look of the Digital Drawing Board:

You can use the pushbutton on the Study Board to draw!

Taking it Further…

Yes, you could use these old joysticks for anything like a remote-controlled robot, drawing board, or anything that requires left, right, up, and down buttons.

Next time, we will see if we can make a bluetooth joystick…
