Yes, the example of a bump sensor that I was looking at in the book had
a sensor on either end of the bumper ( overlapping 2x8 lego plates) so
that either would signal. Since the Cybermaster can identify individual
touch sensors ( different value resistors) I thought it might confuse it
if they were plugged into the same input.
On thinking about it, it could be an advantage as if more than one
sensor is bumped, then depending on the raw value you could calculate
the direction using only one input.
I might give it a try and see what values are received.

P.S. I got two messages from you, one to CyberUser and one from Lego-
Robotics. I am replying to this one only but sending it to Lego-
Robotics.

| (...) What do you mean parallel? I once connected 2 touch sensors to the same port and they worked like a logic OR if is that you are asking. (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
