I actually wrote something a little more advanced. It is a fully graphical program generator that supports all kinds of advanced features such as deadzones, filters, tank drive, limits based on digital or analog sensors, etc, etc. It's written in one of my infamous mixtures of C and C++. Check it out at

As for the VB code, have you checked the Whitepapers section? I seem to remember a VB-based dashboard viewer there, but I could be mistaken.
