It would require some minor dev and assembly effort on SparkFun's part, to create a board to combine N40P107 or N50P105 with the AS5013 sensor chip.</p>

I am trying to run the example code and connect the hardware in the right order. I want to connect only one joystick to the I2C level shifter to the Arduino.<p>Problem is I am getting unreadable data on the Serial Monitor.

That was for testing only, though- over months and years it wouldn't surprise me if that shortened its life.<p>For best results, <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10403" rel="nofollow">use our I2C Level shifter</a>- that'll guarantee you don't break any rules with the signal levels. A 1k resistor in series with the RESETN line ought to do fine, if you need to use it.</p><p>Finally, about multiple devices: there's a solder bridge on the board that allows you to change the device's I2C address, allowing two of them to operate on one bus. You only need one level shifter for both parts, of course, since I2C is multi-drop.</p><p>If you need more than two, you can use multiple I2C level shifters to multiplex the signals. Just connect the VREF2 pin of each level shifter to a digital IO on the Arduino and you can turn them on and off to address the EasyPoint(s) connected to each one.</p></p>

I know we all gotta eat, it's a nice part, and I don't know what you're paying for assembly, but for six pull-up resistors? there aren't even provisions for mounting this thing. C'mon. You gotta kit it out a little more to charge this premium - Source those knobs and come up with an OTHG (Other than hot glue) mounting system.</p>

If all you need is a $4 analog joystick, this would be overkill on many levels. However, if you're working on a velocity sensitive touch-control... the bounce-back on an analog joystick alone will probably drive you bananas. My dad always said, let the tool fit the job.</p>
