I think you have two choices:

1. See this Post and use the drive ( ); function. "built in deadband".

2. Make your own "arcade" control by mixing the port1_x and port1_y with a SETPWM. Then using IF statements so that the mixed values from the joystick have to be greater than your deadband, else SetPWM 127.
