Can you post some pictures of how you've got it wired?

I've done this before, and it works fine.

Cool, might give this a go if I'm still running Windows when I install the bags.

that all looks good. Can you test the resistance of the sensor?

The resistance of the sensor is 10ohm...

Is that good or bad?

It's good, if that's with no pressure.

flip the connector over at the FB, so the red wire is on the other side.

I did that and now it reads 0.53

this is with the sensor just sat on my desk btw. Is that right?

Edit
Just realized that was still looking at voltage as i turned off the PSI calculations. with them back in it is hovering around 1.60


can i also ask why it needed flipping over? because the board is clearly labelled as
+
-
AN

And ive just swapped it so it is now
AN
-
+

Thanks

Ken

1.60psi is within the accuracy of the sensor.

It had to be flipped because Nick wrote the function for a different circuit from what you wired - basically, his function has the resistor and sensor swapped. Flipping the connector does the same thing, faster.

hey guys I have not been on in a while, Im installing an air ride on my 300c. Was wondering if I only need the dakota digital sensors only, or would I need the gauge also? Also would the fusion brain monitor the air tank also if I got a sensor for that? Thanks guys. I glad I keep my fusion brain after taking it out of my old car. It might save me 200 if I don't need the gauge.

Ive got 3 sensors in this setup, 1 to monitor the tanks, 1 for the front bags and one for the rear bags. i guess you would only need the gauge if you were not confident in the PC telling you the right info - depending on cost it could be a good way of proving the software is correct.

Well what I want to do is use 5 sensors, one for each wheel and one for the tank. would this work?
