Again thanks for your quick responses, i greatly appreciate your help. i will hook the unit up as you stated and upload the sketch and see what happens and keep you in the loop and also do a little reading up on the un/conditional "IF" in the morning. Im debating on just not even worrying about the button depress to center bc its really easy to depress that button on the ps2 controller joystick and i would not want it to recenter while looking around, just a thought. there is so much more than i originally thought that goes into this, but at the same time you learn so much more. lol
thanks again good sir
