Electric motor concept help
(OP)
Hello all,
I have a bit of a quandary here. I'm trying to rotate a blade up/down/left/right (UDLR) with an analog joystick. The blade is 20mm long and will spin at 60 RPM in any of the UDLR configurations.
See attached rubbish sketch.
Any ideas how to do this? I'm at a loss at the moment. Any ideas or crits welcome.

When using a motor for anything, it alone can only provide two directions (fwd /rev) in one plane or axis. You need either more motors or some other means of power transmission to add each additional axis of movement, then something to make the decisions. The joystick itself is nothing but the human machine interface, the command device.
You need to study "motion control" for a few years, or hire someone who knows it already.
