# Part 2 — A Live Joystick Dashboard
Code for *"Godot Isn't Just for Games: A Live Joystick Dashboard"* **(article coming soon).**
Builds on [Part 1](../godot-arduino-1-led-first-light): a 2-axis KY-023 joystick streams
its position up the same bridge into a Godot console — a glowing dot tracks the
stick across an XY pad in real time, with the LED button still working.
## Contents
```
arduino/
JoystickBridge/JoystickBridge.ino # streams "x,y,btn" + still drives the LED
bridge/bridge.py # same serial <-> UDP relay as Part 1
godot/
ArduinoGodot/ # Godot 4 project: XY pad + dot + LED button
```
## Wiring (adds to Part 1)
KY-023 joystick: `+5V`→5V, `GND`→GND, `VRx`→A0, `VRy`→A1, `SW`→D2. Keep the
LED from Part 1 on D13.
## Run it
1. **Flash** `arduino/JoystickBridge/JoystickBridge.ino` to the Uno.
2. **Bridge:** `python arduino/bridge/bridge.py` (leave running).
3. **Godot:** open `godot/ArduinoGodot/` in Godot 4 and press Play — move the stick.
