Need Help finishing setup of Logitech joystick

I have a Probotix Fireball V90 and want to use a Logitech USB joystick to control the machine. This is a breakdown of what I have done so far:

Plug In Joystick

Directory: /proc/bus/input
Look at File: devices
Partial Contents:
Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c216 Version=0110
Name="Logitech Logitech Dual Action"

Directory: /etc/udev/rules.d
Created File: logitech.rules
Contents:
SYSFS{idProduct}=="c216",SYSFS{idVendor}=="046d",MODE="0660",GROUP="plugdev"

Directory: ~/linuxcnc/configs/V90
Created File: logitech.hal
Contents:
loadusr -W hal_input -KRAL Logitech

Directory: ~/linuxcnc/config/V90
Edit File: V90.ini
Partial Contents:
[HAL]
HALFILE = V90.hal
HALFILE= custom.hal
HALFILE = logitech.hal
POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal

Unplug Joystick
Plug Joystick In

Start Hal Meter

Test Pin: input.0.btn-base
Returns: TRUE/FALSE

Test Pin: input.0.abs-x-position
Returns: Values a range of values between -1 and +1

Test Pin: input.0.abs-hat0x-position
Returns: -1,0,+1

The joystick appears to be working!

*** THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP ***

I do not know what to do next to get the joystick to talk to the Axis GUI.

What needs to be done to make input.0.btn-base turn on and off the spindle for example?
What needs to be done to make input.0.abs-x-position jog the x-axis to the left or right at different speeds depending on how far left or right the joystick is moved?
What needs to be done to make input.0.abs-hat0x-position jog the x-axis to the left or right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
