1. Features

• USB interface

• Full USB V1.1/2.0 compliance

• Full USB HID 1.1 compliance

• Three analog potentiometer axes with 8 bit

resolution each (100k pots required)

• Available with support for either up to 8 buttons

or up to 16 buttons

• Autocalibration and autocentering

• Single +5V power supply

1.1 Variants

JW24MOD-A8-8 supports up to eight buttons

which close to Ground.

JW24MOD-A8-16 supports up to 16 buttons

arranged in a matrix of 4x4. Diodes are required

for proper operation of the matrix.

1.2 Custom variants

Custom adaptions are available on request.

2. Functional overview

The JW24MOD-A8-x comes equipped with

JoyWarrior24 A8-x chips. It allows direct

connection of up to three 100k potentiometers and

either up to 8 or up to 16 buttons depending on the

JoyWarrior variant used.

The JW24MOD-A8-x has been optimized for the

use with 100k pots, any significant deviation (>±

20%) from this value results in reduced resolution

of the joystick movement.

3. Connecting the electromechanics

The module has the signal names printed next to

the solder pads.

K1 is for the connection of the USB cable.

K2 is the group of signals to connect the pots. AZ,

AY, AX are the respective center taps for the three

pots. All three taps of the pots need to be

connected.

K3 and K4 are for the connection of the buttons. In

case of a JW24MOD-A8-8 the buttons have to

close to GND. For the JW24MOD-A8-16 the

buttons are arranged in a 4x4 matrix. To ensure all

buttons can be pressed in any combination it is

necessary to insert diodes in series with every

button. The kathodes of these diodes have to

connect to the Y lines.

JP1 is an optional jumper to enable the Raw mode

of the JoyWarrior for testing purposes.

For further details please refer to the JoyWarrior

datasheet.

Soldering wires to the module should be done

carefully to avoid separating the pads from the

PCB due to overheating or mechanical stress.

4. Mechanical dimensions

The mounting holes are 2.5mm in diameter.

The solder pad holes are 0.9mm in diameter.

Tolerances:

Hole diameters: -0.05 +0.1mm

Hole positions: ±0.05mm

Outer contour: ±0.2mm

5. FCC / CE

The JW24MOD-A8-x is sold as a module to be

integrated into a device. As such it can not be FCC

or CE approved.

Code Mercenaries has excerted greatest care in

designing this module to minimize RF emission

and assure stable operation. Though the use of

proper cable materials and correct integration into

a device is crucial to assure product safety and

interference free operation.

The integrator who assembles the module into a

device has to take care for appropriate testing and

safety measures.
