PWM, Joysticks and Visual Basic

I did a quick search and came up with the following link. On the page is a description and the link to download "joystick.exe" which has what you need including sample code.

SUMMARY
Joystick.exe is a self-extracting compressed file containing a sample project that demonstrates how to use the Joystick API functions in Visual Basic. You can use this sample as a starting point for a game program that uses a joystick for an input device.

If you are trying to use a joystick you are doing an input to a computer and a PWM might be an output and can be done with an external interfase. In order to help you please let me know if my appreciation is correct. Regards.

You are correct.

I have already done this with an Atmega 128 chip and now I want to do the same with a PC laptop, preferably with a touch screen so that I can pre-program functions into the touch screen or operate the pwm with a joystick if used that way. My project is pretty much like a security camera console, only windows based and preferably visual basic programming since I already know that language.

Pete...

FYI, there already is available a USB PWM device, is just was not sure of how to access a joystick. Looks like there are API calls already done in a DLL.

From Google search

another...

or look this list over

The mabry link was dead, but the other two were useful.

Thanks...
