Re: lightweight joystick calibration program?

If not, is the joystick easy to read in basic? Might be fun to dust

10 ? PDL(0),PDL(1):GOTO 10

I suppose that as you move the stick around a bit the numbers should normalize around 127, with 0 and 255 at the extremities? (This is the behavior of emulators; it may not be true of metal. The last time I have used a joystick on an Apple was around 20 years ago.)

I want to say PDL(0) is the X-axis and PDL(1) is the Y-axis.
