If you do have the F310, I wrote a class a while back to make using it easier. You can find it here:

If you'd like to write your own code, you can at least use it for the axis and button mappings. If not, usage is very similar to a regular WPILib Joystick.
Code:
F310 *gamepad = new F310(1);
float leftX = gamepad->GetX(F310::kLeftStick);
float rightY = gamepad->GetY(F310::kRightStick);
bool leftTrigger = gamepad->GetButton(F310::kLeftTrigger);
delete gamepad;
gamepad = NULL;
jsmeldru, perhaps we have different versions of the F310? I'm able to read all 12 buttons as well as both DPad axes.
