Does anyone know if it's legal in the game or do I have to use a different joystick?

If it's legal, how do I get the Arduino to input as a joystick with buttons and axes into labview's joystick control?
Just to make sure I understand you correctly-

You'd like to use an arduino to mimic a joystick, such then it can generate perhaps programmed joystick moves?

Or were you planning on making your own joystick using the arduino as a method of collecting and processing sensor input (such as encoders) into a joystickesqe USB data stream?
