I would like to connect a normally open switch to my boe bot.
Where do I need to connect it, and witch resistors would I need?
I couldn't find any instructions in the "robotics with the boe bot" book, even though there is a normaly open switch in the kit.

    Download the "What's a Microcontroller?" tutorial from Parallax and go through Chapter #3 which is all about switches and how to use them with a Stamp. You can find this with the other tutorials by going to Parallax's main webpage, clicking on the Resources tab, then selecting Downloads, then Stamps in Class Downloads.

    In the Robotics with the Boe-Bot book version 2, the chapter on navigating with wiskers is the one you need to look at. The wiskers are basically a normally open switch. There is a schematic on page 168.
