A handheld controller PCBA featuring a two-directional joystick, button, and trim potentiometer. It connects using a DIN-802 port and cable and is designed to work with the Eye Mechanism Controller Board - β series - but of course it can be repurposed for any type of project. There is options to include the DIN-802 male-male cable and not.
The outer casing and buttons' 3D files are open-source and available to download, or you can purchase them pre-made.
What is special about this design compared to other handheld controllers??
This controller features a "Trim Potentiometer" on the back, which can be used to adjust a value and hold its position, whereas most controllers use spring loaded potentiometers which return to their home position. Put simply, this means you can select a value (for example, how wide open the eyelids of an eye mechanism are) and it will stay there!
This is a development board intended for experienced makers and engineers. It may require some technical knowledge to use effectively. By purchasing, you acknowledge the need for appropriate skills in electronics and DIY projects.

Works great! My only issue is that the cable sticks out a bit from the eye mech. It makes it difficult to design something with a smaller head. Also it would really help if the cable had a right angle bend on one side to reduce the strain on the cable and the eye mech control board. A really amazing design, just a few suggestions to improve usability.
Works great! Perfect for manual operation of eyes for project!
Super!
Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Good quality.
Es macht was es soll , ist aber etwas zu teuer .
