150 PSI Air Pressure Sensor

This is on its way to me:

and I should have it by the end of this week. I will update accordingly.

O.K. I'll bite. How are you going to hook that to your FBrain? Looks like it only has 2 wires and don't FB sensor inputs have 3? I only ask cause I need the same thing for my air horns.

well, I got it today.

You hook it up through a resistor network. We will provide the adapter cable, and you order the sensors directly from dakota digital.

cheap, probably $7-10. I'll tally up what the components cost.

Thumbs up

where are we at with this ???
I want to place the order for the brain, 4 temps and a pressure switch ASAP.

I figure if i gotta pay postage may as well be on the lot, rather than do it twice.

so, you just need a 180 ohm resistor. Wire it like this:

+5v
|
sensor
|
analog input
|
resistor
|
Ground

Hi All. Dakota Digital http://www.dakotadigital.com have these units SEN-09-3 which is a local pressure sensor for vacumme and 0-30 PSI pressure, ideal for measuring turbo boost. I have asked and they tell me the signal out is 0 to 5 vdc.
Perfect for the Fusion Brain, and the pressure is right in the range we want to measure so it is going to be nice and accurate.

seems that dakota digital has a lot of nice sensors. i wouldnt mind the tire pressure ones.. i bet they all work off of 5vdc..

I have a bunch of these with my air ride kit, if you have any graphical representations of how you wired it, please post!

The post above gives the range of values the sensor works with.

You want to make a circuit like this:

+5vdc-->100ohm resistor--->sensor signal lead and fusion brain input--->sensor--->ground
