This resolves the race condition. While Python's GIL prevents crashes from concurrent accesses, like those seen in C/C++, it doesn't eliminate the risk of race conditions causing inconsistent behavior. The lock is important in this case. Without it, joystick data can become inconsistent, leading to issues like sudden jumps or incorrect inputs. The lock addresses these problems, ensuring smooth and reliable joystick control. |

This PR fixes a race condition in the joystick control by using
threading.Lockto safely synchronize access to shared joystick data between threads. This prevents data conflicts and ensures reliable operation during concurrent execution.
