Adjusting Joystick Sensivity in Java

Its ya boy Kevin Pai coming at you, I was wondering how to adjust the sensitivity of the joystick to slow down its acceleration.

It’s unclear what you want.

Do you want the motor voltage to ramp up at a limited rate when you make large changes in command?

Or do you simply want to limit the maximum command that the joysticks can issue?

Yeah sorry for being unclear, I want to to be able to moderate the speed of a motor by changing voltage based on joystick movement. We have to be able to move the robot with slower acceleration because our joystick is too sensitive.

Does this help?
