Somebody could probably make a VI that does this. Would be nice if you could tell what type of joystick you were calling upon so you could make the VI work for any controller that is plugged in. Though how would that capability help the robot? It wouldn't unless your robot has a strange passion for XBox 360 controllers and won't work otherwise.

I don't know about saving 14.5 minutes. The drawing took us all of 1 minute - and it was good for documentation purposes. Creating the front panel and putting in all the wires, deploying the code, than rewiring to your PWM outputs took the vast bulk of the time.
