User's Manual

The Touch Sensor gives your robot a sense of touch.

The Touch Sensor detects when it is being pressed by

something and when it is released again.

TOUCH SENSOR

Suggestions for use

You can use the Touch Sensor to make your robot pick up

things: a robotic arm equipped with a Touch Sensor lets the

robot know whether or not there is something in its arm to

grab. Or you can use a Touch Sensor to make your robot act on

a command. For example, by pressing the Touch Sensor you can

make your robot walk, talk, close a door, or turn on your TV.

Test it!

Test the Touch Sensor and get a fun reaction.

Connect a Touch Sensor to port 1 of your NXT and

select the Try-Touch program in the Try Me submenu

on the NXT’s display.
