That came up in an earlier topic. I had decided to have a second TAS readout option so you could put a static probe (sponge covered tube, etc) in front / behind various heat exchangers so you could see the relative pressure recovery. I'll just use the same sensor as the main TAS pressure sensor.

You can convert the mph reading back into pressure if that was needed.

Tracy,

I was mostly thinking about air pressures. Like plenum, after radiator etc. I'm not sure what the best type of transducer would be, but my guess is the MAP sensors are the least expensive way to go. Most of the lab grade transducers with a pedigree are just ridiculously overpriced. If they work with 0-5 that would be perfect.

Unless you know of something better in which case, I'm all ears. ;-)

Hi Monty,
What kind of pressure are you thinking of? Air, liquid, what pressure range, etc? I could have some gen purpose 0 - 5 volt inputs that can be calibrated to whatever units you wanted. You would have to use a sensor that put out voltage in this range though.
