Joystick Controlled Robot
Drive a robot with a physical joystick module
Overview
Reads X/Y from an analog joystick and translates into motor commands via the L298N driver.
How It Works
The joystick module outputs two analog voltages for the X and Y axes. The ESP32 reads these via its ADC (analog-to-digital converter), maps the values to motor speeds and directions, and sends PWM signals through the L298N motor driver. Pushing the joystick forward drives both motors forward; tilting left or right creates differential speed between the two motors for turning.
What You Will Build
A complete, working joystick controlled robot using real ESP32 hardware, sensors, and motors. You will take it home once the course is complete.
