  • Joystick: Joystick info, Breakout board info.
    To solder, insert joystick's 6 pins, from the top (over the hash markings) and solder on back. Cut 1x8 pin header to length 4, insert from bottom and solder on top (hint: do this while mounted in a breadboard).
    Note that the left and right headers on the breakout board are identical and connected by the circuit board.
