Button D-Pad
SKU:AX22-0016
Low stock: 5 left
Bring classic game-console navigation to any project with this AX22-sized board. Five low-profile ALPS Alpine SKRPADE010 tactile switches are arranged in a “plus” pattern Up, Down, Left, Right, and Center, and tied to a resistor ladder so all five directions share a single ADC pin. Pressing a direction pulls the ladder to a unique voltage, letting your code identify which button is down with one quick analog read. Snap it into any AX22 backplane to add intuitive D-Pad control to menus, games, robots, or data-entry gizmos without burning five GPIOs.
