(...) Are you sure your multimeter is up to the task? I have measured numerous touch sensors (from 1.5, 2.0 and cybermaster), all of them have a high value when not pressed (open for RIS 1.5 and 2.0, 10 to 15KOhm for Cybermaster that have a (...) (22 years ago, 23-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)

The touch sensor has a variable resistance that changes as more force is applied to the button. You just have to read the raw (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)
