Inverting a joystick axis in arcade mode
Is there any easy way to invert one joystick axis in arcade mode?

We just got a USB-Chicklet and a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad. Our code uses arcade mode and works perfectly with the joystick from the kit of parts. Unfortunately, the chicklet inverts the x-axis of the gamepad's joystick.

We do not want to change the direction the robot drives.

The only way I know how to work around this problem is to rewrite the arcade function (using the default MPLab 1-joystick drive code as a model). Our rookie programmer won't have time to do that.
