Thumbstick click is a high precision input device. It features a dual axis, spring return, pushbutton enabled joystick (similar to the ones used on joypads on popular gaming consoles), and a MCP3204 12-bit A/D converter.
It features a dual axis, spring return, pushbutton enabled joystick, and a MCP3204 12-bit A/D converter.
We provide a library for the Thumbstick Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.
This library contains API for Thumbstick Click driver.
void thumbstick_cfg_setup ( thumbstick_cfg_t *cfg );
THUMBSTICK_RETVAL thumbstick_init ( thumbstick_t *ctx, thumbstick_cfg_t *cfg );
uint16_t thumbstick_read_data( thumbstick_t *ctx, uint8_t channel );
The demo application shows reading the thumbstick position ..
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Configuring clicks and log objects.
It reads the position of the thumbstick,
- if it detects that the thumbstick has moved from the zero position, it prints a message about the current position.
- It also checks the status of the switch button.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
