Hi. I need to find a joystick that gives me 2 axis movement. I need something with a potentiometer that gives me analog signals on all 4 directions. Any ideas?

Thanks...

Here's a tiny one from Digi Key for $5.74. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=252A103B60NA-NDhttp://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...GAEpiMZZMsNkDi%2bZOvTpLQgHfwfLhEdB4KCnt2h9zc=
This would not be for human interaction, but possibly for some mechanical measurement. You would need to excite it with 10V or less due to its 10K resisitance and 10 mW rating. If you want to digitize the inputs, such as to Modbus, you could use this: http://www.icpdas-usa.com/products.php?PID=477
