You can: 1. Put multiple Touch sensors on the same input but you can't tell which one was hit. 2. Put a Light and Touch sensor on the same input and read normal light levels except when the Touch is hit it the input will read 100. 3. There are a (...) (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I've done it using an output port to control a MUX. I've been able to control up to three sensors through one input port. This could be extended to nine sensors through all three sensor ports. I'm working on ways to control more sensors both (...) (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I do. I only have two motors! 8^) But I'm looking at ways to use either the inputs to control the MUX or have an external control that the RCX can query to determine which sensor is currently active. ---Larry +---...---+ Larry Coffin (...) (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
