Your sensor is, at its heart, a simple potentiometer (variable resistor) and you could use the RCTIME statement to read its value. Look in the Basic Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual in the chapter on the RCTIME statement for a discussion and examples. This Manual should be in the help files of the Stamp Editor or you can download it from Parallax's Downloads webpage under Stamp Documentation. Another good source for information is the "app-notes" link on this webpage.
