When you tilt the joystick to the right, the on-board LED lights up.

You'll need an Arduino Uno, one Joystick with a breakout board (I bought one from Adafruit), and nothing else since this uses the on-board LED.

 

Plug VCC into 5V, GND into GND on the analog side, Y into A0, X into A1, and Sel into A2.

 

When you tilt the analog stick to the right, it should light up the on board LED! (Provided that is PIN13.)
