As stated, The joystick can be moved in two dimensions typically represent the X and Y. The X position is read from analog pin A0 and the Y position is read from analog pin A1. In the Arduino sketch, ...

The joystick x-axis is attached to Arduino pin A0 and the y-axis to Arduino A1, and these are our INPUT. The x- and y-axes are then set as variables for movement.

[Dimitri Diakopoulos] dropped into our tip line to let us know his HIDUINO project. The HIDUINO is a set of firmware for the ATmega8u2 used in the new revisions of the Arduino (Uno, and Mega2560 f… ...
