Product description: Navigation Switch module - joystick with button - I2C - Qwiic - SparkFun PRT-27576
SparkFun Qwiic Navigation Switch is a small but very functional accessory that introduces the possibility of 5-way button control to your project. Thanks to the Qwiic system, the module can be easily connected to other components without the need for soldering. The built-in control button supports five directions: up, down, left, right and middle press . Additionally, it has a built-in RGB diode that allows visual tracking of the interaction with the button. In addition, it supports configurable I2C addresses , which allows easy expansion with additional buttons in the same system. It is ideal for solutions that require accurate and fast control, such as robots, navigation systems or user interfaces.
Navigation Switch module - joystick with button - I2C - Qwiic - SparkFun PRT-27576.
Navigation Switch is a small but very functional accessory that brings 5-way button control to your project.Special Features
