I'm new here and don't have much experience yet with the RCX, but I was
just wondering... Is it possible to attach both sensors to a single input
using one of the multi-input multiplexers (voltage divider arrangements) that
I've read about on here? If so, you could read both sensors at precisely the
same time by reading a single input port and then examine the value seen to
determine which sensor was activated.

| (...) You can multiplex simple switchs that way, but not the light sensor. I requires power and outputs an analog value. (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
