How to connect a Grove - ThumbJoystick to Microbit

Prepare

Connecting a Grove - ThumbJoystick to Microbit is a bit tricky, but it is worth doing. So let's go!!

Firstly, we need to prepare a Micro:bit, a Grove shield, a tweezers(or needle), a scissors, a Grove - Thumb Joystick, and a Grove - Branch Cable.

It is very very important to pay attention when using scissors and tweezers!

Step1

As the pictures shown, the Grove - Branch Cable has 3 connectors. We name them Conector#1, Conector#2 and Conector#3. Note that Conector#2 and Conector#3 have no differences at first.

Then carefully pick the white cable out of Conector#2 with a tweezers(or needle).

Step2

Carefully pick the yellow cable and white cable out of Conector#3 with a tweezers(or needle).

Step3

Be careful not to cut the wrong cable!!!

Cut the white cable of Conector#2 and the yellow cable of Conector#3.

Step4

Insert the white cable to the first slot of Conector#3 as the picture shown.

Step5

Almost done!

Now we connect Conector#2 to P0/P14 port and Conector#3 to P1/P15 port of Grove shield.

Step6

The last step! We connect Conector#1 to Grove - Thumb Joystick and finish!

Demo 1: Display Arrow

Now let me show you how to program in Makecode.

After adding this package to Makecode, we can find a block named "on Key Up/Down/..". This block is similar to the base block "on button A/B pressed", it means if the key is at "Up" status, an event handler is started.

This is an example of showing some arrows when Grove - Thumb Joystick is manipulated.
