Marco Correia's utterance expressed in

want and the ENTER is done by returning the dial to 0(zero)/no action.

What a great idea!  why haven't I tried that yet??  Fun

for distance measuring and crane-boom-control.

Shame on you!  Now I'm gonna go to bed too late tonight!

Leg godt!

Ie, for a typical clock style, you gear things up so that for one rotation of the dial the touch sensor is pushed 12 times. A ratchet (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics)

With 3 touch sensors = 3 "bits" = 1+7 possible states/combinations 000 = none pressed 001 = 1 pressed 010 = 2 pressed 011 = 1+2 pressed 100 = 3 pressed 101 = 1+3 pressed 110 = 2+3 pressed 111 = 1+2+3 pressed or you can use a rotation/angle sensor as (...)
