The Germans invented the joystick during World War 2, in order to control some of their missiles.
If you are trying to make a computer joystick, the way you would do it would depend on the type of signals you are trying to produce. If you want a simple digital joystick, you would use switches for each main position, and a pivot and arms to reach the switches. If you want an analog joystick, you would need to create a yoke to turn 2 sets of potentiometers (basically volume controls). A modern digital joystick might use the potentiometers and an A/D converter. Then you would have to have switches for the fire/control buttons. Then you would need the correct cables and wiring. If you create for USB, you'd need extra circuitry to make it USB compliant (and that is beyond the scope of this answer).

l stands for Left and it is the left side of the controller and pushing down on the front two buttons are L1 and L2 and the Left joystick for the L3. You can also use the arrow pointing left on the directional buttons for some operations although it is not a left button on the controller. Moving the Joystick to the left will also move objects left
Yes.But if the PS3 game doesn't allow you to map the buttons, the buttons may not do what you want.
To flash your lights in the "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" game on the PS2 during a roll-up race challenge, simply press the L1 button on your joystick to flash your headlights. This action can be used to distract your opponents and enhance your racing strategy. Make sure to time it well to maximize its effect during the race.
The joystick was invented in the first decade of the twentieth century. Its original use was as one of the controls of an aircraft.

IBM and it was a Joystick used for selecting numbers from 1 to 8
The Joystick was invented by NASA engineers so that the astronauts that piloted the lunar module could fly it to the moon safely. The joystick was also used on the lunar rover and was placed in the middle of the vehicle so that both astronauts could drive the rover what side of the vehicle they were in.
The first use of joysticks was in aircraft, used to control ailerons and elevators. Early pilots, like Robert Esnault-Pelterie, Robert Loraine, James Henry Joyce and A.E. George, all claim to have invented the joystick, or be involved with inventing the joystick. The first recorded use of the term was in Robert Loraine's diary in 1909.
Yes, the joystick was invented for NASA. It was originally used in aircraft for pilot control, and later adapted for use in spacecraft to control movements in 3D space. NASA continues to use joysticks in various control systems for their spacecraft and robotics.
