Arduino Nano with Joystick-Controlled Servo | KitKraft Robotics Project

Welcome to another exciting KitKraft project! In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through building a simple yet powerful control system using an Arduino Nano, joystick, and servo motor. This project is ideal for beginners interested in robotics, automation, or just learning more about how sensors and actuators work together.

Project Overview

In this project, you’ll learn how to control the position of a servo motor using a joystick. With just a few components, you can build an interactive control system that can be used in robotics, remote control devices, or other creative applications.

Components Required

• Arduino Nano: The microcontroller that reads the joystick input and controls the servo motor.
• Joystick Module: A sensor that detects directional movement and sends input data to the Arduino.
• Servo Motor: The actuator that moves based on the input from the joystick.

How It Works

The joystick module sends analog signals to the Arduino Nano based on its movement. The Arduino then processes these signals and adjusts the position of the servo motor accordingly. Moving the joystick left, right, up, or down changes the servo motor’s position, making it an excellent introduction to control systems.

Key Features

• Real-Time Control: Instantly control the servo motor’s position with the joystick.
• Interactive Design: Great for robotics or any project requiring precise movement control.
• Educational Value: Perfect for beginners looking to understand how input devices (joysticks) and actuators (servos) work together.
