Hall Effect Sensor Joystick Mod

The design is such that any degradation to the led light sources by time or temperature are compensated by a patented redundant differential light sensor design within the optical joystick thus having zero effect on its reliability or durability.

The optical joystick has only advantages over the inductive joystick hall effect joystick and potentiometer joystick. An alternative joystick solution is the as5013 hall effect ic from ams which uses a tiny moving magnet to determine x y position. This a special version of arduino that can emulate as a usb hid joystick. Attempting project found here.

Hall effect joystick have many variant. An arduino micro reads the sensors and converts the analog signal to usb. The as5013 is a complete solution that contains five sensors and a processing engine making integration with a host processor quite easy. Looking to have small parts printed for mounting the magnets and sensors inside the joystick.
