What you are reffering to is valid for MPGs, not for joysticks. (there counts are remembered, and if you stop spinning, the machine might still move to get to the count you intended). For joysticks you need to see what each axis outputs. There are joysticks which output (-value .. 0 .. value), and others that go (0 .. value). The first kind you can easily connecto to halui jogging with speed presetting. (then based on how far you move the stick, halui will command the speed of the jog move). Deadband is used so the axis doesn't slowly creep away if your joystick doesn't output quite 0 when in the neutral position. Before you start hooking the joystick up to halui for jogging, I would first load the joystick component (just like in the HAL file), then use a halmeter and look for the values it outputs for +max, neutral and -max. Also see how linear the values are. Based on these numbers, we'll try to suggest you the best way to hook it up.
