This is a joystick very similar to the 'analog' joysticks on PS2 (PlayStation 2) controllers. Directional movements are simply two potentiometer...

A simple flex sensor 4.5" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Patented technology by Spectra Symbol - t...

This is a 12-step rotary encoder with a nice 'clicking' feel. It's breadboard friendly, and has a pretty handy select switch (by pushing in on the ...

Rotary encoders are used similarly to potentiometers. They're different from potentiometers in that an encoder has full rotation without limits....

This is a resistive analog joystick, very similar to those found on the PSP1000. These compact joysticks are different in that they have a very ...

This breakout board is the simplest way to create a project with multiple capacitive touch sensors. No microcontroller is required here - just po...

Rotary encoders can be used similarly to potentiometers. The difference being that that an encoder has full rotation without limits (It just goes ...

Sometimes a simple analog control device can be the perfect tactile solution for your project, but they can be surprisingly hard to come by. Lucki...
