Good when it works (for a change)
Nice joysticks in the video .. are they expensive ? Are they usb / windows compatible do you know ?
Both axis on the joystick drive the same motor ? or was that just for testing the set up ?
I found I needed to put a dead band in the middle of the joystick or the thing didn't fully turn off sometimes when I released the joystick..

Not expensive at all!

Precision isnt top notch but will do for my ROV. Doesnt always return to zero.
I have a deadband-parameter about 25

nice and not that expensive. A fair bit more than windows compatible joysticks though.
I'm using something similar to

If only I could get one in yellow then it would be perfect....
