Joystick Servo
Motors · Board: Pi Pico · Day 68 of 100
Steer an SG90 servo with a joystick module on the Pico 2W. Analog input to smooth motion.
How it works
The joystick's two axes produce two analog voltages that the Pico 2W reads continuously. Each axis maps to a servo angle, so pushing the stick steers the SG90 smoothly in real time. The classic remote-control feel, built from a five-dollar stick and a servo.
What you'll learn
- Dual-axis analog input
- Joystick calibration
- Proportional control
- Real-time motion mapping
