The origin of the joystick sensor

Let us tell you a story of the origin of the joystick sensor.  Prior to being called a joystick it was known as a  control lever ,  handle  or just a  stick.  It involved mechanical linkages between a person and a physical device (apparatus) that needed to move in one direction or the other.  The problem soon became apparent that a person could only control that apparatus based upon their own physical limit of the amount of force that could be applied to the mechanical control lever. The electrical resistance value of the transmission potentiometer is changed by adjusting the potentiometer Angle to achieve the control of the direction. The person who needed to control a large or heavy object and accomplish tasks with relative ease or  joy , in doing so the term  joystick  was coined.  It became so extensive, so quickly, that today it is known around the globe only as a  joystick
