The joystick shield I have is designed to mount to the top of an Arduino UNO. It has four pushbutton switches on one end and a joystick on the other, plus a reset switch. There are no numbers on the board. I need to know how to hook up this shield to get assignable inputs from the joystick and switches into the Arduino
