SKU: AF-2765 | Brand: Adafruit

The Mini 2-Axis Analog Thumbstick is a compact, self-centring joystick with a black rocker cap, similar in style to PSP joysticks. It provides smooth directional analogue input using two 10 kΩ potentiometers — one for...

SKU: SF-COM-14624 | Brand: SparkFun

A panel-mount rotary potentiometer with a 100 kΩ logarithmic taper. Turn the knob and the resistance changes smoothly — ideal for volume controls and other audio applications where a logarithmic response matches human...

SKU: PI-COM-B003 | Brand: Pimoroni

If you want to be a smooth operator then analog input is essential! This mini operators' joystick uses two 10KΩ potentiometers and a spring-back system for the X and Y axes making it a great input devi...

SKU: SF-COM-14622 | Brand: SparkFun

An adjustable potentiometer can open up many interesting user interfaces. With this rotary potentiometer just turn the dial and the resistance changes. This potentiometer has a ¼" metal knurled shaft diameter, solder ...

SKU: AF-3102 | Brand: Adafruit

A compact analogue joystick with two 10kΩ potentiometers and a spring-return mechanism. Unlike arcade-style joysticks that use clicking switches, this joystick provides smooth, proportional analogue output across a fu...

SKU: SF-SEN-28868 | Brand: SparkFun

This wind vane is used to indicate the direction from which the wind is blowing. Inside the vane are eight switches, each paired with a unique resistor, allowing a microcontroller to read direction based on the vane’s...

SKU: DF-FIT1036 | Brand: DFRobot

This compact 4015 BLDC motor combines a high-torque outer rotor motor with a factory-integrated AS5600 magnetic encoder, making it a neat motion-control package for robotics and precision motion projects.It is designe...
