Joystick Control - blendixserial

🎮 Take Command of Your 3D Animations with Joystick Control

Elevate your Blender animations with real-time joystick input using a physical joystick, an Arduino, and the powerful blendixserial add-on.

This setup is incredibly intuitive: your Arduino reads real-time input from a standard joystick, including X and Y axis movements, and sends this data over serial to Blender. The blendixserial add-on receives and interprets this input, allowing you to drive animation parameters directly inside your Blender project.

From rotating a character's arm to moving a camera or scaling environment elements, your physical joystick becomes a powerful animation controller.

🕹️ Real-Time Joystick Visual Feedback

In this project, you’ll find a 3D model of a joystick inside Blender that moves in real time as you physically manipulate your hardware joystick, offering instant visual feedback and a complete virtual-physical interaction loop.

📦 What’s Included:

✅ Blender Project File (.blend)
    — A preconfigured scene with a 3D joystick model and all necessary drivers and mappings.

✅ Arduino Sketch
    — A ready-to-upload script for your Arduino, built specifically for compatibility with the blendixserial add-on. Just plug in and play.
