Hi!

@KyranF yeah, although some people are guilty of using it as a personal memory

@W5VO i'm disturbed that 2 of the starred things are from me

I could cancel the stars if you want

dw bro, i'm famous now

seeing stars

bring it on

i got 2K+ now, i'm unstoppable

Anyone here?

I'd like to make sure that it'd be possible to connect moderndevice.com/product/pressure-sensor-mpxv to amazon.com/Arduino-UNO-board-DIP-ATmega328P/dp/B006H06TVG/…

From what I see, analog output comes out of the differential pressure meter, and the Arduino has analog input pins.

@Undo yes, but not directly

it's a 0-5V analog signal, and the Arduino is 0-3.3V.

ah

@Undo or at least I think the arduino is 3.3V

(shows how much I use them)

> Input Voltage (recommended) 7-12V

arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardUno

What's that mean? That it can only detect between 7 and 12 volts?

@Undo well, that's the power supply input, not an analog input

actually, you're fine

ah

I thought the Arduino was using a 3.3V supply, but it uses a 5V supply (which matches your sensor)

Ah, nice!

Thanks!

@W5VO Could you do me a favor and look over homeautomation.stackexchange.com/questions/116/… to see if I'm missing anything huge?

(looks like you don't have an account, the visit link on area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/55835/home-automation should let you in)

@Undo I think they make differential pressure sensors, which may be a better fit, but I don't have time to look right now

@W5VO I think that's what it is, right? Anyway, thanks for the help!

I really appreciate it

@Undo I totally missed the other port. Yup, that's it.

Awesome, thanks!

does anyone understand snowmobile track desgins??

@EwokNightmares I think I can count the number of times I've ever seen a snowmobile in person on the fingers of one finger.

@ThePhoton are you familar with the design of a track tho?

you have a sprocket that pushes the track along and it rolls with wheels that aren't driven

i am trying to make 1

@EwokNightmares No, sorry, don't know anything about it.

@ThePhoton Last time there snow on the ground in San Jose, it was in the 1970s.

@NickAlexeev I grew up in the north bay. The one time in my childhood that it snowed was on Halloween day. And I was away in southern California for my uncle's wedding.

I think that was around 1980'ish.

@ThePhoton so deprived
