It is even theoritcally (my spelling stinks) possible to use 3 touch sensors
and control both forward and reverse of 3 motors.

Like this:
Given Touch sensors A, B, and C
and Motor outputs 1, 2 and 3

Depressed Switches

A: Forward 1
B: Reverse 1

C: Forward 2
A+B: Reverse 2

A+C: Forward 3
B+C: Reverse 3

You should be able to get 3 sensors to control 3 motors like this:


Sensor A not pushed  = forward
Sensor A pushed      = reverse

Sensor B pushed and not C = Motor 1
Sensor C pushed and not B = Motor 2
Sensor B and C pushed     = Motor 3

(...) Thats the exact problem I'm having. I would like to have 1 RCX be able to control the direction of 2 motors. So what I trying to make is a 4 button controller using 3 touch sensors. For instance, I want to have 1 RCX control the opening and (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
