Hi,



Is it possible to use more than 3 motor or more than 3 sensors with one RCX controler?

It depends on the sensors. You can "gang" switches so that they each have unique resistance values to put a bunch on a single sensor input. There may be other interesting dodges out there for other sensors and motors too.

This page is always one of the best places to start regarding RCX sensors and output expansion:

Several input/output expanders are noted. I think a few are even "commercial" products now.
