Step 1: Preparation

Joystick

A 2-axis joystick breakout module

Digispark Dev Board

This is a tiny dev board that can emulate USB HID device, e.g. USB Keyboard, mouse or joystick

Others

A tiny breadboard, some breadboard wires and some pin headers

Step 2: Pin Header Preparation

Soldering pin headers to the board if not yet.

CAUTION Before Plug Into Breadboard

Digispark dev board power pins are not breadboard friendly!

This project only require 5V and GND pins, It is required bent the 5V pin a little bin outside, so it is not connect in the same row while plug into breadboard. Or you will Blow Something Out.

Step 3: Assembly

The pin placement for both board are unbalance, it need further pins to support the corners that does not have pin header.

Here are the connection summary:

Digispark -> Joystick
GND       -> GND
5V        -> 5V
P2        -> VRx
P5        -> VRy
P0        -> SW

Note:

SW trigger by press down the joystick
P3 and P4 is connected to USB, so any USB HID project cannot connect other things to these 2 pins
P2 still available for something else, e.g. a signal LED or an extra button
It is required analog input pins to read VRx and VRy value, Digispark P2 and P5 are the analog input pins. Some board may not enabled P5 (efuse RSTDISBL bit). You may test it by Arduino "blink" example on pin 5. You are required to re-burn the Bootloader or simply change the efuse to enable it.
