Joystick x-axis

The Joystick x-axis block returns the horizontal position of the joystick, which can range from 0 to 100. 

Connect the Joystick’s L/R (x-axis) pin to a numbered A/D socket on the Propeller Activity Board WX, and then set the A/D drop-down to that socket’s number (0-3).


Joystick y-axis

The Joystick y-axis block returns the vertical position of the joystick, which can range from 0 to 100.

Connect the Joystick’s U/D (y-axis) pin to a numbered A/D socket on the Propeller Activity Board WX, and then set the A/D dropdown to that socket’s number (0-3).
