The python based thumbstick.py demo allows you to read a MikroElektronika Thumbstick Click board on a Raspberry PI using the GPIO and SPI inputs via a Pi Click Shield. The Thumbstick Click board uses an SPI based MCP3204 module for reading the joystick axes and the joystick "center click" button is read using the GPIO input 17 on the Raspberry Pi.
