A custom designed joystick which transmits data using an nRF24L01 module. For an example of how this joystick can be used, please visit my Omnibot project.
Programmed in Arduino IDE, models created in Solidworks, schematics created in KiCad.
A picture of the built Joystick using 3D printed parts and other components:
- Upload the RC-Joystick-Transmitter.ino in the
RC-Joystick-Transmitterfolder to the joystick transmitter - Upload the RC-Joystick-Reciever.ino in the
RC-Joystick-Receiverfolder to the joystick receiver
Note: An Arduino Nano (transmitter) and Mega (receiver) are used in these schematics, but any Arduino with the pins required to work with the nRF24L01 module would also work, just remember to change the pin definitions in the code.

Rendered pictures of the 3D model I created using parts from GrabCAD combined with my own models designed for 3D printing. Made in real-world scale and was made using Solidworks.
