Grove - Thumb Joystick
Sold outGrove - Thumb Joystick is a Grove compatible module which is very similar to the ‘analog’ joystick on PlayStation 2 controllers.
Overview
The X and Y axes are two ~10k potentiometers which control 2D movement by generating analog signals. The joystick also has a push button that could be used for special applications. When the module is in working mode, it will output two analog values, representing two directions. Compared to a normal joystick, its output values are restricted to a smaller range (i.e. 200~800), only when being pressed that the X value will be set to 1023 and the MCU can detect the action of pressing.
Features:
- Grove Interface
- 5V/3.3V Compatible
- Analog Output

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new Arduino Portenta Breakout, designed for developing hardware projects, testing, and debugging on Portenta family boards.The Portenta Breakout exploits all the capabilities of the input and outputs, making all high density connectors’ signals individually accessible. The Portenta Breakout reduces development time for industrial grade solution automation based on the Portenta line. Designed to help the hardware engineers and makers who want to develop a proprietary device for Portenta family boards or interfacing external devices to the Portenta family boards (e.g. the Portenta H7). It is now quick and easy to connect and test external hardware components and devices in the lab using all the high density connectors’ signals of the Portenta individually. Rapid development for machine vision Connectivity to the OpenMV Global Shutter Camera Module is provided on the Portenta Breakout, allowing for rapid development of machine vision applications alongside the Portenta family. Test external hardware and devices The Portenta Breakout enables easy debugging through the JTAG connector and allows for inspection of the bus lines through the breakout pins. In addition to the breakout pins, the Portenta Breakout features Ethernet, USB and SD sockets, a coin cell, a power button, an external power supply, an OpenMV camera socket, and configurable boot selection modes. Features include: Power ON buttonBoot mode DIP switchConnectorsUSBARJ45 GBit EthernetMicroSD cardOpenMV shutter moduleMIPI 20T JTAG with trace capabilityPowerCR2032 RTC lithium battery backupExternal power terminal blockI/OBreak out all Portenta high density connector signals Male/female HD connectors for interposing breakout between Portenta and shield to debug signals Beyond use in the development lab, the Portenta Breakout can act as a first point of entry for educating technicians in industrial grade control and embedded
