}Use the Chain Bridge connector to connect the main controller Chain DualKey and Chain Joystick. Pay attention to the direction when connecting — the triangular arrow should point outward from the main controller Chain DualKey, as shown below:
Compile and upload the above program to the device. Click the Serial Plotter button in the upper right corner of Arduino IDE. Move the joystick on the Chain Joystick; the X and Y values will be displayed in real time on the chart:
Comment out the first two code segments in the loop section (lines 39–47) of the above program and upload again. Open the serial monitor — the program will detect joystick press events (single press, double press, long press) and output messages:
