Reading 0 or 1 means the port is configured for touch type input. I don't
see anyway it can get stuck in this mode. You do realize you have to set
the port to other sensor types in software. Running a program that calls
for a light or rotation sensor on port 3 should change it to light or
rotation.
Which language are you using? I usually program in VB and a common mistake
I still make is to try to use port 3 in the software. However they are
numbered 0,1 and 2 in VB not 1,2, and 3 like the RCX labels say.
