• Touch the module from right to left, it will return "RS".

• Touch the module If the left side of the module is touched, it will return "L".

• If the right side of the module is touched, it will return "R".

from pidog import Pidog
import time

while True:
    touch_status = my_dog.dual_touch.read()
    print(f"touch_status: {touch_status}")
    time.sleep(0.5)
