That's not possible, as they are all slightly different,
and it also varies a little over time.
I measured it for my sensors with the RCX, depressing
them slowly by a rack and measuring every 1/100mm
(nominally, i think LEGO technic is rather imprecise at this scale).
For example, here's a datalog for the red touch sensor:

You see, it takes about 0.25mm from the first effect to the full value
(values are raw input values).

So what do you want to do with the sensors?

| It seems to me that the touch sensors have very different caracteristics. One has ~ 390 ohms and another ~ 480 when pressed to the bottom. Also, when pressed just gently, they seem to have a higher resistance. Is this correct? Is there anyone who (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)
