No, since it contains a 500 ohm resistor it wouldn't make a very good switch. -a

(...) I may be wrong, but I opened one of them and don't find any resistor ?!?! Are there perhaps different versions of touch sensors ?? Or is the black contact in the switch the resistor ??

I never bothered picking up a Mindstorms set, as I have enough trouble finding time for more traditional building and I know I wouldn't get good use from the RCX. So I don't have a touch sensor of my own. But I'm wondering if it can be used for (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
