Haptic Feedback Joystick Kit with Arduino Uno + Motor
Haptic Feedback Joystick Kit: Build a Force-Feedback Controller with Arduino Uno and Motor
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Program a joystick that fights back. As you push the stick toward virtual boundaries, the DC motor applies increasing resistance, simulating walls, springs, or dampers. This haptic feedback kit transforms a simple controller into a force-feedback experience used in gaming, robotics, and assistive tech prototypes.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional haptic joystick that reads position with an analog joystick and outputs motor torque via an L298N driver. The OLED displays real-time position and force values. You can define virtual walls — invisible boundaries where the motor pushes back harder, teaching force-feedback principles firsthand.
What You'll Learn
- Map analog joystick coordinates to motor torque dynamically
- Program PWM speed and direction control with an L298N H-bridge
- Implement virtual wall boundaries with increasing force-feedback profiles
- Read rotary encoder pulses for closed-loop speed verification

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring electronics and physics concepts, B.Tech ECE/EEE students working on haptic interface projects, and hobbyists prototyping gaming peripherals or assistive technology for Smart India Hackathon. The build reinforces motor driving, sensor integration, and real-time control logic at an intermediate level.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to chat with the AI companion, which has been trained on every step of this haptic joystick project. You can also send a WhatsApp message to our support team for direct human help.
Is soldering required?
No, all connections are made on the included 400-point breadboard using jumper wires — no soldering needed.
Can I create custom force-feedback patterns beyond virtual walls?
Yes, the open code template lets you program spring, damper, or vibration effects by mapping joystick position to motor torque in any way you choose.
Will I learn how the L298N motor driver works?
Absolutely. You’ll configure PWM signals and direction pins, understand H-bridge operation, and use flyback diodes to protect the circuit during motor braking.
Joystick position mapped to force-feedback on DC motor via H-bridge. Resistance increases near virtual walls.
