Joystick control

[Jaden]

Hi Folks,

I brought an Arduino kit on eBay (Still learning that baby), It has a joystick with it. I would like to use it as a way to select inputs on a alphanumeric display. http://www.dx.com/p/repair-parts-replacement-analog-stick-module-for-ps2-controller-black-121340#.VNA25nm_n_s

So I am using a picaxe to switch audio inputs to a single balanced output. The joystick would be a nice touch. I can get my info for the display off the picaxe tutorials but not to sure in which direction to head for the VRx and VRy from the joystick . Would I use the ADC inputs? X to ADC1 and y to ADC 0?

Thanks in advance.

I see no reason why you could not connect the VRx and VRy outputs directly to the ADC inputs of a PICAXE. For, say, a 5V supply, is appears that the neutral position would output about 2.5V, and 0V and 5V at the extremes of travel.
