Question Use Joysticks w/ 2004 EDU
As programmer (also a student), i am messing around with a 1 Joystick Gradient control system for my school's projectFirst Robot. I just recieved the 2004 EDU kit, but was unable to figure out how to use a joystick with it.

Through some research, i was able to determine that it would not be possible natively to get it connected correctly, so I was wondering if anyone else could help:

Based on the 2004EDU and the previous year's joysticks, how would it be possible to force the joystick to use 2 PWMin ports? Would it be as simple as taking three of the (correct pins obvously) pins and attaching a male connector on the end for each direction, or would a specific converter be required?

Thank you for your time and assistance.
