Circuit for the MicroJoystick
The interface circuit for the MicroJoystick uses a minimum of commonly available components,
and offers a more cost-effective and simpler interface than other types of joysticks (e.g., strain-
gauge based joysticks). With its small number of components, the interface circuit for the
MicroJoystick can easily be integrated onto a system board, or Interlink Electronics can supply an
add-on interface board with the MicroJoystick. Figure 7, “Schematic - MicroJoystick, Application
Note” details the board layout for the circuit. See Section 9 for details of the interface circuit
components list.
Note: The schematic referenced is not a universal interface solution. Additional circuitry may
need to be added or component values may need to be changed to eliminate noise or counteract
other electronic issues that could have a detrimental affect on the performance of the
MicroJoystick. Use sound engineering practices when laying out and specifying your
MicroJoystick interface circuit.
