For this start of 2021, you can now play with joysticks on your OSDK based projects.
You can learn about it on this Osdk article published a few days ago (the changes mentioned in the article require the version 1.18 of the OSDK which just got published). https://osdk.org/index.php?page=articles&ref=ART17
Note that a new version of the OSDK will be released as soon as Oricutron 1.3 is released - the current version has some issues with the joysticks which have been fixed in the more recent versions of the code -
