Thanks for sharing it with us ! Your component can also be used with
the nAxes components of Orocos, which will apear in the next releases
and/or the existing SignalTracker generator, which can track the
commands of the joystick, if the DataObjects names are set properly.

A suggested feature is that your sensor component exports the buttons
as datasources instead of dataobjects (seen the ExecutionExtension and
program script manuals), allowing a program script to read
the status of the buttons and tie a particular action to it.
