Hello James,
With proportional pressure sensors that is going to become expensive.
Unless money is not too important here I'd go with float switches.
But where is the fun in designing curcuits?
True. But since you said you are in a hurry, wife breathing down your
back, reminding you to get it done, saying there are lots more honey-dos
on the list...
What wife? I ain't got no steenking wife.
The lowest pressure rating that I saw was 15 PSI. Too high and I
would have to construct some sort of amplifier to bring up the voltrages
to reasonable levels. The pressure I believe that I would be working
with is about 1.29 PSI (.43*3 Ft.). The range on the MPX5010 is 1.45
PSI and is amplified to have a F/S output of 4.475 VDC with a F/S span of
4.275 with a supply volyage of 4.75 VDC.
Sure, but there is fun in designing circuits :-)))
Sure, but forcing a part to do what it wasn't designed for and not within
the specs when there is one that is doesn't sounf good to me.
A float, a pot, a weight, a pulley, maybe some gearing. Take it up
from there.
