Another question... Is there an application or something that I can use to see the output of a usb joystick? I need something for testing, and I don't have any way of telling what the joystick is actually outputting.
Maybe something like this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/

Also, R60N seems kind of silly. According to the rules, I can buy or build any HID compliant USB device to hook up to the driver's station, but I cannot use the FirstTouch (which is most likely a safer/easier avenue than building any custom electronics). Why the draconian restriction?
