Hello I need help on a project that includes arduino uno/ethernet shield/usb host shield. It will take data from a tinkerkit joy stick and other things like motion sensor, photo cell, temp. sensor etc. then display it on my website http://www.nimbitmusic.com/arduinomax. So I need help first on geting readings from my joystick, any examples?
Yes, there are a bunch of helpful examples already given to you under File -> Examples.
Start from the top and work your way down. 
Thanks HazardsMind. But I could not find one on usb host shield or tinkerkit joystick. Do you know any other place that could help?
Its just like any other joystick really, but with a quick search, I found this.

You will probably find more examples for the USB shield in the Arduino playground.
Ok so I tried it but the values stayed about 300
It is generally held that topics in all caps and containing words such as "HELP" or "EXTREME" or more that one exclamation point are not worth answering.
A gentle hint - you can change the heading on your first post.

What did you try?
If you really want some advice, you need to give us the information so that we can help you.
This usually includes posting your code in code tags so it looks like this and a diagram showing clearly how you have everything connected.
I can't think of anything in your project that justifies the use of the word "extreme" in your title.
...R
Did you connect the joystick to the same inputs as the ones used in your sketch?
You will not have any success unless the software and hardware match. If it is wrong, you can change either, whichever is easiest.
You misspelled EXTREME, by the way.
Did you read the datasheet linked in Reply#3 ?
Did you try that code ?
Do you have a meter ?
Can you explain why you are getting a value of 300 for 5V ? (is it really 5V ?)
Maybe you should post your code and a schematic.
Thanks Paul__B it was defintly a little overboard
Thanks Paul__B it was defintly a little overboard
(so why haven't you changed it ?)
Sorry I took a little time changing it
This is what I have done. sorry I did not give that much info.
This one used serial moniter and the value stayed about 300

This one had a error on line (Joystick me=Joystick(A1,A0)

I have no idea why it put the dude faces dude=00

Is this project possible
Love the little O0 I've never seen that before. Thank you 
Hello KenF. Do you know anything about the usb host shield or tinkerkit joystick?

Weren't those guys taken off the Robertson's jam jars because they were non-PC?

I also need help with getting a ethernet shield to send data to the internet.
