Lego Programming?!

There is a port for LEGO sensors on the digital sidecar. We program in labview, but it should be easy enough to use it.

The NXT port on the digital sidecar is for I2C NXT sensors. The touch sensor is simply a switch and so should be connected to the digital IO, just like any other switch. Making an interface cable might be a pain.

Connect pin 1 of the touch sensor to the signal pin of the DIO and pin 2 of the touch sensor to ground, and you're set.

Based on prior FTC and LEGO experience with these sensors, I would highly recommend buying a cheap microswitch. It would probably be easier to mount, and would definitely be easier to interface.

What is the application for this touch sensor?
