MLX90333 Three-Dimensional Joystick Sensor Module

The MLX90333 Three-Dimensional Joystick Sensor Module is a specialized magnetic position and angle detector designed for projects requiring absolute 3D rotational and positional accuracy. Built with Melexis’ Hall effect technology, this module measures angle, tilt, rotation, and joystick movement across X, Y, and Z axes, offering exceptional precision and stability for advanced electronics and motion-control applications.

Unlike traditional joysticks that rely on potentiometers, the MLX90333 uses non-contact magnetic sensing, which ensures longer life, improved accuracy, and no mechanical wear, making it ideal for high-usage robotic and gaming systems.

This sensor is commonly used in:
✔ Multi-axis joystick controls
✔ Gaming controller design
✔ Drone control modules
✔ Servo-less gimbal systems
✔ Industrial automation
✔ Mechatronics
✔ Automotive joystick systems

⭐ Perfect for Arduino, NodeMCU & Raspberry Pi Projects

If you’re building a custom joystick, robotic arm, drone control interface, or 3D motion device, this sensor integrates smoothly with microcontrollers like:
