Connecting N touch sensors in parallel requires N pieces of wire, while doing
so in series requires N+1 pieces of wire. See? It's not that bad.
Here is my experimenting results of connecting the three Cyber Master touch
sensors to RCX in series: (disregarding bouncing)
yellow red white percent
0 0 0 34%
1 0 0 43%
0 1 0 45%
0 0 1 50%
1 1 0 62%
1 0 1 71%
0 1 1 77%
1 1 1 100%
The values produced by the yellow and the red sensors are dangerously close.
Otherwise it seems ok to me. I get exactly the same readings everytime. I
don't know if battery power or a different RCX will affect the readings.
Cheers,
Hao-yang Wang
