Limit Switch instead of Bumper Switch?

Hey guyz , im building a robot n its main functionality is to avoid obstacles , that means if it bumps a box , it changes direction n tries another path .
i know i had to buy bumper switch so robot identify obstacles on its way , made a mistake because of the image n didnt know it's actually a limit switch , cause limit n bumper switches look pretty much the same ~ so is there any way i can use limit switch as bumper a switch ? if not is there any other way i can do this ? need ur advice.
ty in advance

Depending on physical switch design I don't see why not. Got a link to what you have?

yup this is the link with the image of the switch >> https://www.cytron.com.my/viewProduct.php?pid=Fi0cIBgWEBYDIA8eGQYGAHLjnpnYSljPIGoYmdYmO0U=

sent the link here , apparently its waiting for moderator approval

I am sure a moderator will be along soon. However, as I mentioned, depending on the actual switch configuration it can very likely be used as a bumper switch. When a limit switch is "bumped" it changes state.

Just need to know if what you have is NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed).

Hi,

you can use any miniature soft touch tactile switch for a bumper switch (limit switch is just the same).

Depending on your logic circuit you'll have to add an inverter into the switch circuit (either NC or NO)
