 Hi Walter,

 I downloaded the new version of measure and run some test. I noticed
 that the voltage sensor button has a different behavior... perhaps the
 right one, but let me explain. There are two button in sensors:
 resistance and voltage sensors.

 I am only using resistance sensors so far (temp, air-humidity, light,
 magnet, switch) and the data reading varies...  in many cases when you
 connect the sensor, you can't see the reading because it is out of the
 range that can be displayed. For example, I just connected a light
 sensor (pic included) and I see the reading, but when I cover the
 sensor, the reading disappears. I know it is working because when I
 hit record I can see the reading at the top (data log included).

 We had that problem in Nigeria and we used the voltage sensor button,
 which showed the data reading at a different range (like the button
 image suggests). I clicked the voltage button now and instead of the
 behavior I just described, I noticed the microphone port is disabled.

 As I said, I don't know if the voltage sensor is behaving the right
 way, but we need to find a way to display the curve when the reading
 varies.

 Best,
