Figure 5-7
The assembled joystick controller. The joystick circuit
inside the housing was designed to be just tall enough
so that the LEDs and joystick would stick through the
top. Assemble the circuit first so you know how much
space you need for the housing. A cable made from
scrap stranded wire and male headers to connect
the pushbutton makes it easier to open and close the
box with the button mounted. The inner wires from a
telephone cable work nicely for this.
Figure 5-5
The circuit as laid out on a perforated circuit board
(perfboard). Note that male headers are only attached to
the Arduino's analog input pins, power and ground pins,
and digital pins 2 through 5. The rest aren't needed.

Detail of the Arduino, Ethernet shield, and circuit board.
Use female headers to mount the LEDs and the switch.
For the LEDs, it makes the job of getting them to the
right height much easier. You can trim them bit by bit
until they are the right height, then stick them in the
headers.

are connected underneath the board.
