Thanks all for the responses, that gives me a few things to try.
Regarding the joystick: I'm using joy_node from the joy package, and
setting the autorepeat_rate parameter, so I should be getting a steady
stream of joy messages, which I mostly do but sometimes there is a
long gap. My suspicion is that it's my code that is to blame for that
though.
I'll hack on this a bit more and report back..
Cheers,
Pat
