A custom designed joystick which transmits data using an nRF24L01 module. For an example of how this joystick can be used, please visit my Omnibot project.

Programmed in Arduino IDE, models created in Solidworks, schematics created in KiCad.

A picture of the built Joystick using 3D printed parts and other components:

• Upload the RC-Joystick-Transmitter.ino in the RC-Joystick-Transmitter folder to the joystick transmitter
• Upload the RC-Joystick-Reciever.ino in the RC-Joystick-Receiver folder to the joystick receiver

Note: An Arduino Nano (transmitter) and Mega (receiver) are used in these schematics, but any Arduino with the pins required to work with the nRF24L01 module would also work, just remember to change the pin definitions in the code.
