Very true, but my whole reasoning for making such a circuit is not simply to let us see when the joysticks are trimmed or aren't, it's to let us do so without using up other OI features (such as the LEDs) which we could use for other feedback, concerning the actual driving of the robot. We can only acesss 8 of them, through the joystick ports and we could easily find 8 other uses for an LED.
