Compatibility
This shield directly stacks onto Arduino Uno, Mega, Leonardo, and similar boards with standard Arduino shield pinout. It operates at 5V logic, making it fully compatible with most 5V Arduino boards. For 3.3V boards like Arduino Due, use with level shifters if necessary.
Wiring Notes
No external wiring is needed when stacked onto an Arduino. The joystick X and Y axes connect to analog pins A0 and A1, while the pushbutton and extra buttons use digital pins (typically D2–D6). Check your specific shield’s pin labeling before programming.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi?
Yes, but the Raspberry Pi uses 3.3V logic while this shield is 5V. You will need a logic level converter to safely connect it to the Pi’s GPIO pins.
Can I control motors directly with this shield?
This shield includes only joystick and buttons; it does not have a motor driver. You will need a separate motor driver shield or module to control motors.
Does it include a wireless module?
No, but it often includes a socket for an nRF24L01 wireless transceiver module, which you can purchase separately to wirelessly transmit joystick data.
