Hy to all !
I've a Ris 1.5 since 2000 and everything was going good. Until today.
I was assembling a lego pneumatic switch with a touch sensor to detect the
center position on the switch, but the sensor seems to have lost
sensibility. When i touch it the maximun value i get is more or less 78 (as
reading on the RCX with sensor_type_touch and sensor_mode_percent using
NQC).
With this low value it can't switch to "1" loosing it's functionality.
So, I opened it and i found that it works with a small piece of rubber which
once pressed against 2 small metallic plates it makes the contact. But
somewhere this rubber lost part of it's conductivity.
The question is, what can i do (before buying a new sensor) ?
Thanks to everyone.

| (...) Hi Giacomo, Looks like that rubber part has lost its conductivity, simple thing you can try is- stick a samll aluminium piece on it annd reassemble it that would work . Nitin Mindsensors Robotics www.mindsensors.com (21 years ago, 5-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)
