I have seen many others use the infrared port as a source of light which is
used in conjunction with a light sensor to create a range finder, but I have
never heard of anyone using the port itself as a sensor. Is there a way to
read the "strength" of the light received?
As for running out of sensor ports, is there anyway you could stack some of
the existing sensors. Touch sensors can almost always be stacked (attached
in parallel with another sensor, don't know how well this would work with a
rotation sensor). You could also buy another RCX (everyone should have at
least two!).

| A simple on/off sensor can be placed in series or parallel with other on/off sensors however analog sensors cannot. It should be pointed out that if you do group sensors, it becomes impossible to determine which one was actually triggered. This (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| I am working on a robotic assignment with RCX by legOS. It is a small RCX vehicle that move around. I want to add a goal for this vehicle. Say, move towards a certain direction. However, all the 3 sensors port had been used up for some purpose. So I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
