Description

In a bizarre way, the Magnetic Limit switch does work but the REV touch sensor does not. The led on the touch sensor lights up when it is pressed, but the Systemcore doesn't detect it (on either the LCD or the web page)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with a REV touch sensor in a SmartIO port and compare it with the working Magnetic Limit switch. Check whether pressing the sensor is detected by both the Systemcore LCD and web page; the issue is done when the touch sensor is recognized in both places.
