I just got a joystick for my ATT 6300. It seems to work fine, but I would
like to get an idea of how it performs.
What I am looking for is a simple program that helps calibrate the joystick
and it's settings. I would imagine that all it does is put a pointer of
sorts on the screen and helps to show what happens when you move and
how it moves.
Also, when you move to a corner, and let it go, should the pointer snap
back to the middle of the screen, or dos it just stay there? I'm kinda
interested in it's action so I can better understand it.
Thanks in advance.

Here is a basic program that came with the instructions for my joystick.
It prints out values corresponding to the position of the joystick. They
recommend adjusting the pots so that you get a reading between 50 and 95
for each direction when the joystick is centered (straight up and down).
10 WIDTH 40: CLS
20 LOCATE 10, 15: PRINT"X="; STICK(0)
30 LOCATE 10, 25: PRINT"Y="; STICK(1)
40 GOTO 20
RUN
