Joystick

As there are many joysticks with different capabilities this module attempts to capture the basics of what might be needed. You can edit the interface and try moving your joystick around to see how the stick, buttons and levers change values in the interface. From that you can map the values into RoboRealm variables that are used within other modules to perform certain actions.
