Resistor- A device that limits the flow of current when voltage is applied
In our project:
The resistors limit the flow of current from the joystick to the PC when voltage is applied. Resistor symbol below.
Diode- Device that only lets current pass one way, and not back the other way
In our project:
The diodes only allows the current to flow in one direction therefore not allowing the current back to the joystick side. Diode symbol below:
Transistor- A device commonly used to amplify or switch electronic signals
In our project
Our joystick contains a PNP BJT Transistor, which if it has a voltage in its base (the leg on the side), it will pass the current from the collector (top leg) to the emitter (bottom leg). PNP Transistor Symbol Below.
