# Connect the Grove Thumb Joystick to analog port A0

# GrovePi Port A0 uses Arduino pins 0 and 1

# GrovePi Port A1 uses Arduino pins 1 and 2

# Don't plug anything into port A1 that uses pin 1

# Most Grove sensors only use 3 of their 4 pins, which is why the GrovePi

shares Arduino pins between adjacent ports

# If the sensor has a pin definition SIG,NC,VCC,GND, the second (white)

pin is not connected to anything

# If you wish to connect two joysticks, use ports A0 and A2 (skip A1)

# Uses two pins - one for the X axis and one for the Y axis

# This configuration means you are using port A0

xPin = 0

yPin = 1

grovepi.pinMode(xPin,"INPUT")

grovepi.pinMode(yPin,"INPUT")

# The Grove Thumb Joystick is an analog device that outputs analog signal

ranging from 0 to 1023

# The X and Y axes are two ~10k potentiometers and a momentary push

button which shorts the x axis

# My joystick produces slightly different results to the specifications
