Chris, thanks for your quickly answer.
The joystick we will use could be a Saitek P880 Dual Analog. The connexion between the joystick with the Parallax Servo Controller isn´t direct, we want to use a computer to comunicate the Joystick with the board.
If you have drivers for the joystick and can read its values then you should have no problems as the protocol for the PSC from a PC is the same as if from a microcontroller. The bigger challenge for you is getting the values from your joystick.

Jon, thanks a lot for your answer.
Your partner, Chris Savage has asked us what kind of Joystick we have, and we told him it was a Saitek P880, but really if you have a software for a one model of joystick, we were interested in this joystick because we don´t need any joystick in special. ·
We do not have software for that application.· You would need to write your own in either VB, C++, RealBASIC or whatever language you are fluent in on the PC side.· As Jon pointed out, you could then send the necessary data to the PSC.
