Button Box

First of all, make sure to check out: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:700346. This links you directly to the newer version created with a joystick module that is readily available and very inexpensive. Now, let's return to the original description: I'm not going to pretend that I needed this, but in fact I did need it so I took on the challenge of designing something around it. What I came up with is a housing for the Electronic Brick Joystick breakout board that is no longer available in production. The design consists of a Playstation2 style analog joystick with two analog inputs making it extremely easy to use with Arduino. The button not only clicks but also provides a momentary switch option which makes this device very versatile and practical to use. I looked around high and low but unfortunately could find anywhere else to source the boards anymore. However, if you happen to have one stuck in a drawer somewhere like I did, you can definitely give your old Electronic Brick Joystick a brand new home by housing it in this carefully designed case. Here's the link to that "discontinued" page for reference: http://www.trossenrobotics.com/store/p/6340-Electronic-Brick-Playstation2-Analog-Joystick.aspx. That is all for now.
