Here's one sample program that provides reasonable joystick control over a robot. You can use button to switch between "arcade" or "tank" steering. A logarithmic like scale is used on the joystick to provide more precise control over low speeds. Thanks to Jeff and the Benson team for the original source.
Please post any comments you observe on motor performance issues. I've noticed a little jerkiness on the motor movements at very slow speeds -- i.e. it cycles through stopped, a little too fast and then stopped -- which I think is related to the PID control loop in the motor controller.
The attached file (or its evolution) will be included in the sample programs if there is a need for another release (i.e. version 1.47).
