[Allan Schwartz] decided to document his experience using Fritzing to design, fabricate, and test a custom Arduino shield PCB, and his step-by-step documentation makes the workflow very clear.

Now let’s move to a funny do it yourself project (good for a novice) using the Funduino Joystick Shield, an Arduino Uno, and one RYG Traffic Light LED Module. You can use an RGB LED module (of course ...

3. Connect the GND from the joystick module to the Arduino GND rail, and +5V to the Arduino +5V rail. Connect the VRx pin directly to Arduino A0, and the VRy pin directly to Arduino A1.

Hardware component basis is very minimal for this experiment so most of DIY electronics hobbyists even with limited experience could enjoy it and build a useful joystick by themselves. The main brain ...
