Mindsensors TouchMUX

When you have a robot with a lot of bumper sensors, it is easy to run out of sensor ports.  Using the new Mindsensors TouchMUX this is no longer an issue.  You can connect up to 3 LEGO touch sensors to this device and with the help of a built-in small resistor network, you can easily tell which combination of touch sensors is being pressed at any given time.  Thanks to its compact size, it won’t take up much space.  Mounting it to your robot is a cinch using any of the 4 axle-shaped mounting holes.

You can expect this sensor to be supported in the next release of the 3rd Party Driver Suite.
