Introduction: Micro-Joystick
Micro-Joystick is a Joystick to control Games using Accelerometer from BBC Micro:Bit .
Supplies

2. Phone Holder : https://www.amazon.in/SPYKART-Flexible-Support-Rot...
3. USB Cable
4. Any PC Game
5. Python
Step 1: Software Installation
You need to install Python to run this project.
[Install Python](https://realpython.com/installing-python/)
Then Download the project from https://github.com/aniketdhole07/Micro-Joystick
Step 2: Connect With Micro:Bit
Connect the Micro:Bit , and paste the bitio.hex file in the . You can find the install instructions of bitio https://github.com/whaleygeek/bitio/tree/newarch.
Once you copy the bitio.hex in the MICROBIT's Folder you mak see the logo
1. Open the joystick.py code from [downloaded code](https://github.com/aniketdhole07/Micro-Joystick)
2. Run the code
3. The output of code will ask to Reinsert the Microbit, so it can detect the Port.

You can find other alternative to the Phone Holder, just make sure that it moves easily and in all directions.
I just Double Taped the Microbit to the Phone Holder
Step 4: Play
Step 5: TinkerCad Simulation
TinkerCad is a great platform to simulate electronics.
I tried simulating the micro:bit board here before buying to check for the sensor data.
