In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.
In this video, I will show you how to control use a joystick with the Raspberry Pi Pico W using MicroPython. I will show you how to read X and Y values from the joystick. I will then show how to calibrate those raw readings to give more intuitive values for joystick position. After showing this, I will show how you can convert those x and y calibrated into an angular position of the joystick controller. Then we will use the joystick to control the colors on a neoPixel array.
