measuring water pressure

D. Abram

I'm working on a solar water heater and the BS2 is the control unit measuring temperatures, turning pumps on/off, etc.

I'd like to also be able to monitor the water pressure in the system but am having a difficult time finding a pressure sensor i can interface with the BS2?

Any suggestions?

Have look at Omega Engineering for pressure transducers.

Assuming you will be using an a/d chip, nearly any transducer with 0-5 volt, 0-10 volt or 4-20 mA signal can be made to work. The LTC1298 a/d converter works well and sample code is avaialble from Parallax.

Cheers,
