Keyestudio Micro bit Joystick Breakout Board For Micro bit

The Keyestudio Micro:bit Joystick Breakout Board is an expansion accessory designed to turn your BBC micro:bit into a fully functional game controller or custom input device. It is ideal for students, hobbyists, and makers looking to build interactive games, control robotics, or simulate keyboard and mouse inputs. With its integrated joystick, six physical buttons, and flexible power options, it unlocks new creative possibilities for coding education.

Flexible external power supply

Equipped with an onboard AMS1117 voltage regulator chip, this board supports an external input voltage of DC 4.75V to 12V. This ensures your BBC micro:bit receives stable power during demanding robotics or control applications.

Tactile game controller layout

The board features an analogue joystick alongside six physical buttons labelled UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, SELECT, and MODE. This layout provides a familiar, tactile interface for gaming projects and remote-control applications.

Dedicated hardware pin mapping

Every control is mapped to a specific micro:bit pin, with the joystick X, Y, and Z axes routed to P4, P3, and P5. The buttons are connected to pins P6 through P11, allowing you to easily read their states in your code.

Custom computer input simulation

You can configure this breakout board to act as a simulated computer keyboard or mouse. This makes it simple to create custom physical controllers for PC games or assistive technology interfaces.

Analog serial and Bluetooth connectivity

Connect the onboard 3V, G, P0, and P1 pins to your micro:bit to access an analog serial port. This setup enables straightforward communication with external Bluetooth devices for wireless control projects.
