i have found that this years joysticks really don't have that wonderful of a center position. we are using sticks from previous years.... other than the trim tabs being off you may need to do some scaling. what we do is this

#define left_MAX 254
#defing left_MIN 16

pwm01 = ((pwm01 - left_MIN) * 256) / (left_MAX-left_MIN);

this is the basic way we do it. i don't have the code with me but i know we break up the equation so we don't lose as much in the dividing so that the dividing is easier on the proc.
