Well, since my PS2 controller is having problems again (as usual), I felt like using my Xbox 360 controller instead. How do I do this you might add? I did it using Microsoft XNA. I know how to use XNA, I have been learning it since version 1.0 and I had created several small 2D games. I never thought how handy it could be for robotics. Think about it. It’s capable of doing all the hard 3D work for you, so you can easily create 3D robot simulators. I have not done this yet since the math involved in 3D programs is a little too much for me right now.
Anyways, for simple things like controlling a servo, the Xbox controller does a magnificent job at it. It’s also very precise. the only problem I seem to be having with it is the servo moves in the opposite direction of the thumbstick. I’m sure that could be easily fixed though.
Take a look at the Video.

Edit: Ok, It’s been about 5 mins now and I already fixed the problem.
