Not a problem. Buy a USB joystick. Crack it open. Inside there will be some circuits and potentiometers for each axis. Rip out the circuits, and wire up the potentiometers and buttons as described in the operator interface manual. You will need a new cable and a db-15 connector to replace the USB cable. put it back together and you are done! All that is needed is a male db15 connector(joystich connector), a few feet of cable, and about 15 mins of time. We did this last year.
