are connected to...
You can run the Dashboard Viewer program (http://www.ifirobotics.com/dashboard_viewer.shtml) and see exactly what changes when you move the joystick and press the buttons.

2). Does anyone have any schematics or technical information regarding the OI or RC units?
I am wondering if each port is set up as a PC joy stick port which will support two joysticks and four buttons.
It is indeed set up that way. See http://www.ifirobotics.com/docs/oi-r...e-11-21-05.pdf for details.

Look at the rest of the documentation available at http://www.ifirobotics.com/oi.shtml and http://www.ifirobotics.com/rc.shtml if you want to learn more.
