Hi, I was looking for a schematic diagram for a joystick and I bumped into your this design, and there is a couple of things that are not clear to me…
Im in my beginning phase of electronics, so please understand!!
1- in the diagram, pin number 7 of the ATMega 8 is a VCC, and pin number 20 reads VCC on 1 side and inside it reads AVCC. What should i connect in pin 7 and in pin 20??
2- one end of the resistor of 2,2k says VCC. where does this one goes??
3- both joined capacitor ends read VCC. where does it go??
4- pin number 1 read PC6, where does it go to?
5- If i wanted to build it with only 10 buttons, should i start removing from the diagram the smaller numbers like PD0 and PD 1 lines or the PD6 and 7??
6- Is the ISP port necessary if i don’t want to perform any special programming??
7- where does the ISP show on the schematic diagram??
Thank you so much in advance, I hope i don’t bother you with my questions…
Peace!!
