Inductor and Smooth Joysticks

Engineering is all about trade offs. You can design yor system to do A, B or C easily. Combining A abd C or A and B or B and C requires some effort. Combining A, B and C should be near impossible. - Mike Betts [more]

Matt Leese has a reputation beyond repute

A better bet would be to place a capacitor in parallel with the joystick. This would act to smooth the change in voltage across the joystick (given that it acts as a variable resistor). It's probably a better bet to to simply do it in software as I'm not sure how the Operator Interface reacts to capacitive or inductive loads on the joystick inputs.
