Do you realize how important it is to be independent? To be able to take care of yourself? To not rely on someone else for your most basic needs? And to not get so damn attached to stuff that you’d rather demean yourself than live without it?

Updated Joystick code with if statements

/* Read Jostick

 * ------------

 *

 * Reads two analog pins that are supposed to be

 * connected to a jostick made of two potentiometers

 *

 * We send three bytes back to the comp: one header and two

 * with data as signed bytes, this will take the form:

 *     Jxy\r\n

 *

 * x and y are integers and sent in ASCII

So this code is the one that connects the Joystick with the board, 

we use the analog inputs as a trace of the motion of the x and y

Note, the joystick is considered two potentiometers, made of two resistors.

Need to find the data sheet of the joystick.
