I was using my scout this past weekend as a coinbox detector to launch a mono rail. The touch sensors work exactly as Dave suggests. You can also just do the following: until(SENSOR_1); Waits until it's touched. until(!SENSOR_1); Waits until the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

This program turns on motor A and leaves it running until a touch sensor attached to input 1 is pressed, then it turns off the motor and plays a sound: task main() { On(OUT_A); until(SENSOR_1 == 1); Off(OUT_A); PlaySound(SOUND_UP); } Dave (...)

I've sort of solved my problem, but not in a way which really makes total sense. Both of the below fragments work as expectd: #1 if ((SensorValueRaw(1) & SensorValueRaw(0)) != 255) #2 if ((SensorValueRaw(1) != 255) || (SensorValueRaw(0) != 255)) (...)

All, I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now. I've read the NQC docs, looked in the newsgroups, books, etc, but I can't seem to figure out how to read the touch sensors on my Scout.
