Hall effect analog arcade joystick
This is an arcade joystick with full analog capability built around a Hall effect sensor. It uses an RP2350 microcontroller, provides inputs for 16 buttons, and outputs RGB LEDs for every button. It is designed as a direct swap for any enclosure designed for a modern Sanwa stick, on which it is based.
What it addresses
Existing commercial analog arcade joysticks, such as the Ultimarc Ultrastik the author currently uses, have many shortcomings.

“I'm working on an arcade joystick with full analog capability using a Hall effect sensor. It's along the lines of the Ultimarc Ultrastik, which I'm currently using, but it has so many shortcomings that I decided to build my own. I decided to go with a rp2350 microcontroller, and it will have inputs for 16 buttons, and outputs for RGB leds for every button. It should be a direct swap for any enclosure designed for a modern Sanwa stick, which it's based on.”
