Micorbit Hand Controller

This is a Hand Controller for the Microbit (Another One) The microbit boasts excellent radio capabilities, making it an ideal choice for remote controlling various devices. Unlike my previous microbit controller - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2982246 - this one utilizes a joystick instead of accelerometers (though you could repurpose the accelerometers for another project). I've included two momentary switches for your creative endeavors. The coding and implementation are up to you; it would be fantastic to see what you use this controller for. Components Inside: 1. Joystick module (similar to - KY-023 PS2 Game Joystick ) with headers removed 2. Standard push momentary switches (like these https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11996) 3. Sparkfun Microbit Breakout board - headers removed 4. M3 10mm hex head 5. M2 10mm hex head 6. Wire 7. Hot glue The images demonstrate the layout and where I've soldered connections together; however, feel free to wire it up as you see fit. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. ______________________________________________________________________ This project is associated with my PhD research and must adhere to an ethical standard.
