Hello,

I'm all new too this stuff and i really need help because i cannot find anything online on this. I've done some basic Arduino projects but came across Teensy for a joystick analog.

I want to use this: https://exoelectro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/JoystickModule-e1581200506253.jpg

Joystick analog module as the left analog joystick for movement.

There are 5 pins on this module

GND
+5V
VRX
VRY
SW


On the teensy LC board ive put them too this:

Im using Xinput and installed the AVR and lib

this is the code im using:

#include <XInput.h>

// Config Settings
const unsigned long CycleTime = 5000;  // ms
const int SafetyPin = 0;  // Ground this pin to prevent inputs


// Joystick Setup
const int JoyMax = 32767;  // int16_t max
const double angle_precision = (2 * PI) / (CycleTime / 4);  // 4 because 250 Hz update rate
double angle = 0.0;

void setup() {
    pinMode(SafetyPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
    XInput.setAutoSend(false);  // Wait for all controls before sending

    XInput.begin();
}

void loop() {
    if (digitalRead(SafetyPin) == LOW) {
        return;
    }

    // Calculate joystick x/y values using trig
    int axis_x = sin(angle) * JoyMax;
    int axis_y = cos(angle) * JoyMax;

    angle += angle_precision;
    if (angle >= 360) {
        angle -= 360;
    }

    XInput.setJoystick(JOY_LEFT, axis_x, axis_y);  // Clockwise
    XInput.setJoystick(JOY_RIGHT, -axis_x, axis_y);  // Counter-clockwise

    // Send values to PC
    XInput.send();
}
it uploads fine

it shows in device manager but there is a message: https://i.gyazo.com/2de20f222898bbed15fc624b897638cd.png

and on this website: https://gamepad-tester.com/

it is not detected at all.

Can anyone help me what im doing wrong?

sorry for my english.

Teensy LC is not +5v tolerant so I strongly suggest you connect the +5v pin of the joystick module to the LC's +3.3v pin.
 
If you had it connected to 5V, even for a short time, there is a big chance that the Teensy defective already.
