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 );
void thumbstick_get_position ( thumbstick_t *ctx, thumbstick_position_t *position );
The demo application shows clickboard axis postioning and button state.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initialization of Click board's and log's objects.
>It reads the position of the thumbstick:
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.
