Compact handheld Arduino controller remix designed mainly for animatronics, robotics, and DIY electronics projects.

This remix improves the original design by:

• Removing unnecessary screw holes
• Extending the potentiometer trim shaft for a tighter fit
• Reducing wobble from the original trim piece
• Adding proper support for standard 4-pin joystick modules

The controller includes:

• Joystick module support
• Potentiometer support
• Momentary push button support
• Fully screw-together assembly using M3 hardware

Both side covers also include a bottom cable exit hole for routing jumper wires or multi-core cable, making the controller cleaner and easier to integrate into permanent projects or animatronics setups.

Included with the model:

• Full assembly documentation
• Fritzing wiring diagram
• Example Arduino code

Great for:

• Animatronics
• Robotics
• Servo control
• Arduino projects
• DIY electronics
• Custom controller projects
