Pressure

Post by greentech »

I was looking at the e-blocks page regarding sensors. But i couldn't find anything relating to high pressure sensors.
Is there a way in flow code to measure pressures ranging from 0 - 200 bars?

Hello,

Farnell stock a good range of pressure sensors as do Rapid and RS. They can be a bit expensive, Sparkfun may have something useful at a lower cost.

If you can find a part that fits the bill then i'm sure you will be able to use it with Flowcode. Whether it be via an analogue input or some kind of digital interface such as SPI or I2C.

If you find a specific device and would like some more info on how to interface to it then feel free to ask.
