    Touch Sensors Overview


    There are two different VEX sensors, the Bumper Sensor and the Limit Switch, that act as touch sensors.
    Despite their differences in appearance and usage, both sensors operate in a similar matter, and can
    be programmed in the same way.

    Bumper Switch Limit Switch


    The Bumper Swtich, above, is a type of touch sensor for The Limit Switch is another form of touch sensor for VEX.
    the VEX. Due to its size and construction, it is better suited It is more suited for detecting smaller motions that might
    for tasks such as wall detection. not trigger the bumper sensor.

    Both then Bumper Switch and the Limit Switch


    are digital sensors. Whenever the sensor
    is pressed in, it will return a value of 1.
    Whenever it is not pressed in, it will return a
    value of 0.

    Touch sensors are used to perform a variety


    of tasks, from solving a maze using wall
    detection to controlling the movements of your
    robot’s arm attachment.

    Example of a Bumper Switch attachment

    Note: On both the Bumper Switch and the Limit Switch, the red wire is not used. Even if you notice that
    the red wire is “falling out” of the sensor, it should not have any effect on the sensor’s performance.

    Touch Sensors Natural Language Sample Code


    Move Forward Until Touch
    This code has the robot move forward until the sensor is pressed and then stop moving.

    task main ()
    {
    robotType(recbot); //Specifies the robot type

    forward(63); // Move forward at speed 63.


    untilTouch(dgtl6); // Wait for touch sensor in digital port
    // 6 to be pressed.
    stop(); // Stop.
    }

    Move Forward When Released


    This code has the robot wait until the touch sensor is released and then then move forward for 1 second.

    task main ()
    {
    robotType(recbot); //Specifies the robot type

    // Be sure to hold the touch sensor pressed in while starting


    // your program!!

    untilRelease(dgtl6); // Wait for touch sensor in digital


    //port 6 to be released.
    forward(63); // Move forward at speed 63.
    wait(1.0); // Wait 1.0 second.
    stop(); // Stop.
    }

    Bump to Spin
    This code has the robot wait until the touch sensor is bumped and then spin right for 1.5 seconds.

    task main ()
    {
    robotType(recbot); //Specifies the robot type

    while(true)
    {
    stop(); // Stop. Do not move.
    untilBump(dgtl6); // Wait for touch sensor in digital
    //port 6 to be bumped.
    pointTurn(right, 95); // Make a right turn in place at
    //speed 95.
    wait(1.5); // Wait for 1.5 seconds.
    }
    }
