If I understand your problem correctly, it has nothing to do with legOS
specifically. Therefore, I will answer, even though I have no experience
with legOS.
The problem is, there is a very small amount of time where, while you're
pushing on the sensors, only one is pressed, and your program is seeing
that one.
The solution that occurs to me is (note this is NQC code...):
if (SENSOR_1 || SENSOR_3) {
Off(OUT_A + OUT_C);
Wait(10); // 0.1 second
if (SENSOR_1 && SENSOR_3) {
...
} else if (SENSOR_1) {
...
} else /* #3 hit */ {
...
}
}
