This doesn't work as well as putting a touch sensor and light sensor on the
same port. The data that the light sensor sends back (a value normally
between 40-80) is easy to distinguish from that sent by the touch sensor (0
or 100, if you have the port configured for a light sensor). The rotation
sensor does something much more complicated, and presses on a touch sensor
hooked to the same port basically come across as noise and don't do anything
you can distinguish from the rotation-sensor data. (Even if you know the
rotation sensor isn't going to be turning, the results of pressing the touch
sensor vary depending on what state the sensor is in.)

  Re: How To Add A Rotation Sensor and A Touch Sensor On the Same Input?
 
I already succesfully put a touch sensor and a proximity sensor (a light sensor and an IR port) on the same input. I tried some different configurations to get a touch sensor and rotation sensor on the same input but it didn't work. I'm wondering if (...) (25 years ago, 26-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
