This is awesome! I have one of those exact joysticks that came in a Arduino kit that I bought, going to put it to good use on my OX CNC. This will definitely help working on the machine and not having to go back to the PC to jog the machine. Thanks!

I had one of these joysticks lying around too. That's what gave me the idea. I'm finding this thing super useful.

the latency is actually very good

Wow looks nice! But don't you need to step down the signal voltage of the joystick to a max of 3.3volt?
@JohnLauerGplus7 жыл бұрын
Well, the joystick is just a potentiometer and I'm sending 3.3v into it from the ESP32, so no need to step down any voltage. I show you earlier in the video the voltage coming back as I toggle the joystick left/right.

are you still using this? anything you'd change or have changed?

There is now a product released on Aliexpress specifically for my design, build, and code. That's pretty awesome to see a product launch specific to this video and project! www.aliexpress.com/item/Joystick-KIT-ESP32-wifi-bluetooth-Module-development-tool/32846371340.html

Is it possible to do this with an arduino joy feather board?
@JohnLauerGplus5 жыл бұрын
I presume you mean this board? learn.adafruit.com/joy-featherwing?view=all If so, then yes I think you could hook this to an ESP32. If you mean hook it to just a basic Arduino, then I think you have a problem because you'd have to rewrite the code for Arduino and just use a serial port connection. Sure, it's possible, but you'd have to do a lot of work. The material I show in this video is super cheap to buy. ESP32's can be had for $9.

Any idea what the max range would be? 🙂
@JohnLauerGplus2 жыл бұрын
It's Wifi, so like 300 feet, but probably more like 100 feet with those small PCB antennas.

Hi Jason I have been looking for something like this but the last time I tried to add a device to be able to jog my cnc with your instructions on using a pendent I was not successful is there an idiots guide on how to get this to work sort of a step by step

Well, all of the code is in the ESP32 workspace now in the Sample Code section. So, I would suggest maybe watch the KZbin video on the tutorial for this workspace and then re-watch this video and you should be good to go. You can buy the parts on aliexpress.com.

Nice, where did you get those ESP32 boards?
@JohnLauerGplus7 жыл бұрын
There are new types of ESP32 boards popping up on Aliexpress.com almost every few weeks now. The form factors are getting very exciting such that you can pull off the kind of wireless joystick that I just did. One of the cool new ones is the same form factor I used, but with an added display.

Thanks for your video man, this inspired me to use an ESP32 board to make an ioT joystick to play claw machines remotely, check out the project on my channel if you are interested
