Well then maybe there is a simpler solution.

What kind of Joystick is it? Does it plug into the USB port or an old legacy joystick port (15 pins)?

Maybe you could use a stepper motor for the head and control it via a motor controller .....

Like the ones at this link


I used to work with their controllers years ago and they were pretty easy to program using Basic, vb would probably work too.
 
How much are they?
There are a lot of controllers out there but some are real expensive.

Too bad it requires AC, hard to do with a battery in R2
