# Joystick {#joystick}
|
|
|
|
This feature provides game controller input as a joystick device supporting up to 6 axes and 32 buttons. Axes can be read either from an [ADC-capable input pin](adc_driver), or can be virtual, so that its value is provided by your code.
|
|
|
|
An analog device such as a [potentiometer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer) found on an analog joystick's axes is based on a voltage divider, where adjusting the movable wiper controls the output voltage which can then be read by the microcontroller's ADC.
|
|
|
|
## Usage {#usage}
|
|
|
|
Add the following to your `rules.mk`:
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
JOYSTICK_ENABLE = yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default the joystick driver is `analog`, but you can change this with:
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
JOYSTICK_DRIVER = digital
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration {#configuration}
|
|
|
|
By default, two axes and eight buttons are defined, with a reported resolution of 8 bits (-127 to +127). This can be changed in your `config.h`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
// Min 0, max 32
|
|
#define JOYSTICK_BUTTON_COUNT 16
|
|
// Min 0, max 6: X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz
|
|
#define JOYSTICK_AXIS_COUNT 3
|
|
// Min 8, max 16
|
|
#define JOYSTICK_AXIS_RESOLUTION 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::: tip
|
|
You must define at least one button or axis. Also note that the maximum ADC resolution of the supported AVR MCUs is 10-bit, and 12-bit for most STM32 MCUs.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Axes {#axes}
|
|
|
|
When defining axes for your joystick, you must provide a definition array typically in your `keymap.c`.
|
|
|
|
For instance, the below example configures two axes. The X axis is read from the `A4` pin. With the default axis resolution of 8 bits, the range of values between 900 and 575 are scaled to -127 through 0, and values 575 to 285 are scaled to 0 through 127. The Y axis is configured as a virtual axis, and its value is not read from any pin. Instead, the user must update the axis value programmatically.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
joystick_config_t joystick_axes[JOYSTICK_AXIS_COUNT] = {
|
|
JOYSTICK_AXIS_IN(A4, 900, 575, 285),
|
|
JOYSTICK_AXIS_VIRTUAL
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Axes can be configured using one of the following macros:
|
|
|
|
* `JOYSTICK_AXIS_IN(input_pin, low, rest, high)`
|
|
The ADC samples the provided pin. `low`, `high` and `rest` correspond to the minimum, maximum, and resting (or centered) analog values of the axis, respectively.
|
|
* `JOYSTICK_AXIS_VIRTUAL`
|
|
No ADC reading is performed. The value should be provided by user code.
|
|
|
|
The `low` and `high` values can be swapped to effectively invert the axis.
|
|
|
|
#### Virtual Axes {#virtual-axes}
|
|
|
|
The following example adjusts two virtual axes (X and Y) based on keypad presses, with `KC_P0` as a precision modifier:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
joystick_config_t joystick_axes[JOYSTICK_AXIS_COUNT] = {
|
|
JOYSTICK_AXIS_VIRTUAL, // x
|
|
JOYSTICK_AXIS_VIRTUAL // y
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
static bool precision = false;
|
|
static uint16_t precision_mod = 64;
|
|
static uint16_t axis_val = 127;
|
|
|
|
bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
|
|
int16_t precision_val = axis_val;
|
|
if (precision) {
|
|
precision_val -= precision_mod;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
switch (keycode) {
|
|
case KC_P8:
|
|
joystick_set_axis(1, record->event.pressed ? -precision_val : 0);
|
|
return false;
|
|
case KC_P2:
|
|
joystick_set_axis(1, record->event.pressed ? precision_val : 0);
|
|
return false;
|
|
case KC_P4:
|
|
joystick_set_axis(0, record->event.pressed ? -precision_val : 0);
|
|
return false;
|
|
case KC_P6:
|
|
joystick_set_axis(0, record->event.pressed ? precision_val : 0);
|
|
return false;
|
|
case KC_P0:
|
|
precision = record->event.pressed;
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
```
