Stepper Motors controlled by PS3 Analog sticks


i have done search of forums , see several people have asked questions similar mine, didn't see satisfying answers.  figure ask basic question, lay out have if basic question stupid or answered don't have waste time reading  wall of text.

question:  there existing public library allows simultaneous, proportional, bi-directional control of 2 stepper motors using inputs analog sticks of ps3 controller?  want left stick's y movement control 1 motor , x movement of right stick control other motor.  understand 1 stick give right information having 2 separate sticks work better application.  awesome because have no clue i'm doing. 



i have usb host shield http://tinyurl.com/ol773aq , running on arduino uno, hooked driver http://tinyurl.com/pwd7tvp , driving stepper http://tinyurl.com/lwobc2s  have gotten move using accelstepper library http://tinyurl.com/d9rmho7  uploading constant speed sketch example.  getting different rpms changing step values.  thats cool. 

i have gotten same arduino uno usb host shield recognize , synch ps3 controller using library http://tinyurl.com/k2262r7 using ps3bt example sketch.  cool.  understnad there 2.0 version of library run issue when run ps3bt example sketch lib "no matching function call 'ps3bt::getanalogbutton(button)' " error , since can older 1 work i'm going that. 

i realize i'm not clever i'm 1 has wanted doing , realize pretty else in world write better sketches could.  figure there no reason me reinvent wheel , come worse wheel if has library looking built. 

i did read step command blocking command true simultaneous control of 2 separate motors isn't possible interlacing commands make seem simultaneous.  i'm cool that, want make these steppers move pretty fast (1500 rpm or so) i'm not sure if deal breaker or not.

i had 2 unos connected 2 xbees on the  wireless proto shield http://tinyurl.com/m9o6ld3 apparently there pin conflicts had ditch them , use usb , bluetooth dongle.  no biggie since bt should give me range need project.  if has suggestions i'd love hear them.

writing code control steppers not difficult. easier if use proper stepper motor driver board suitable stepper motor.

stepper motors not run @ high speed.  doubt if close 1500 rpm possible.

you haven't give indication of want achieve can't suggest alternatives.
