Pressure Sensors

Try Newark Electronics - they have many pressure sensors both by
Motorola and Honeywell, in many configurations, depending on what pressure
measurement you need to take. I have used the Honeywell sensors for data
acquisition and was impressed.

My wife buys your company's product in the LARGE package, and I always gag
when I see the price!
But really - thanks. I have been through most of the catalog houses,
including Newark. The best way to describe the problem I'm having with this
is to say that I prefer to use component level technology for both the cost
and control benefits. Perhaps I should have said that I'm looking for a
sensing component instead of a sensor. It seems that the catalog people sell
what are more appropriately described as transducers. Silicon-Piezo types
are certainly sensors that are affordable, but they output only during
pressure changes. The effort needed to convert the output into a gauge type
function would be intense. The micromachined silicon that Honeywell uses in
their 'sensors' is in the form of a chip that sells as a $2 or $3 component.
This is the type of cost that's needed for my product development. If
someone needed to build one sensor into a control project to be used in
another industrial process, the $200 Honeywell would be fine.
BTW, how did that last stamp project work out for you?

Sorry to disappoint you, but my company doesn't make the drink mix
- that's also the reason you haven't seen the lemonade yet either.
I should have figured that you had checked with Newark already -
my apologies for misunderstanding that you were looking for the sensing
component itself. The Honeywell sensor that I had used did come in the
gauge type configuration, and I believe that they cost about 26 or 27
dollars at that time (2 years ago). Sounds like that is still way out of
your budget though.
In regards to your question about my last Stamp project, so many
projects have come and gone since then that in all honesty I don't remember
which one the "last" one was!
