DESCRIPTION

This TinyShield lets you add some control to your TinyDuino projects! Control your very own robot or play a video game with your TinyScreen. This TinyShield has two analog joysticks on both sides as well as two push buttons along the top to create a tiny controller for your TinyDuino. This TinyShield uses the I2C bus for communication and can safely run over the full TinyDuino voltage range.

Note: This joystick works with the standard TinyScreen but not with the TinyScreen+.

Built in ATtiny88 microcontroller, preprogrammed

• Two Analog Joysticks, 10-bit ADC reading for each axis of each joystick returned
• Two discrete pushbuttons

TinyDuino Power Requirements

• Voltage: 3.0V - 5.5V 
• Current: 5mA.  Due to the low current, this board can be run using the TinyDuino coin cell option

Pins Used

• A5/SCL - I2C Serial Clock line
• A4/SDA - I2C Serial Data line

Dimensions

• 68mm x 25mm (2.68 inches x .984 inches)
• Max Height (from lower bottom TinyShield Connector to upper top of joysticks): 12.0 mm (0.472 inches)
• Weight: 5.95 grams (.21 ounces)

Notes

• This joystick does not work TinyScreen+. Because the TinyScreen+ is a processor board, the connectors for the two board will not line up.
