Fusion USB I/O Board - What type of sensors would you like to see?

[brian60]

My vote is for the ultrasonic sensors:

1) So I can get an alert if someone is about to merge into my blind spot.
2) So the car can ***** at people if they are getting too close in the parking lot.

New Sensor:

Linear position/motion

applications:

volume
song track position
HVAC control
throttle position sensing

etc




The LED is available in red or green.

ideally id love to be able to get these to work with the fusion

Do you want the 150 or the 400?

I don't have a way to make much more than about 130 PSI, so I won't be able to calibrate the 400 very well. Which do you need?

[Ryann]

well im goinjg to use the 150's for each wheel bag pressure and i was going to use the 400 for my airtank pressure.. so yea 150 will still be awesome.

i may be able to calibrate the 400 later on as long as i can receive info from it..?

yup, sounds good.

i would just like to put my two cents in and say , you guys are really great, i mean where else can you get this sort of support, turn around time, and have a direct imput on the shape of a product for this price, the answer is no where! congrats greenman100 and 2k1toaster on not only a great product but a great business plan!

alright, I got something, I need to vary the speed opf my water pump for the pc cooling system depending on temp readings, I was thinking of doing this with an array of resistors & maybe 5 or 6 speeds, but it would be really cool if there was a module that could control the speed of a motor, a variable speed controller, don't know if pwm is an option, maybe variable frequency thingy? if this thing evntually supports climate control functions then this would be perfect as a blower motor control too

don't know if this would be useful for many other guys really, but it could also be used to vary the speed of the rotation motor of the rear gun turrets to slow down firing when the ammo starts running low

We'll do it if you install the turrets!

Actually I am planning a relatively cheap digital to analogue converter with high resolution. Its pretty simple, but analogue out is pretty important in my mind.

Battery Voltage and/or amps.

Nothing worse than not knowing your battery is dieing and your PC is sucking away the power.

a 50 amp current sensor is already developed and for sale.

Voltage sensors are bulit in - the Fusion Brain measures 0-5vDC, and through resistor dividers, you can measure any voltage you want!

woh, I didn't see the 50a sensors were available, lasty I checked I saw nothing there for that, gotta go order me some of these thanks

They're not yet listed on the new site, but we want to sell them, they're made already.

Nick has been slacking! just kidding.

I think we're selling for $15 ea.

infrared themometer for reading items that are moving/impossible to attach a temp sensor to(IE Rotors, fans)


Ultrasonic backup/foward sensors. Including some longer range ones.

I imagine using the ultrasonics as a warning system while on the highway as well. Say it's monitoring your blindspots. If something moves into your blindspots quickly it warns you with a chime. And if you turn on your turn signals sensors help determine if something is in your path.

ultrasonic sensors...ruffy's idea is also nice
