Electronics

A few days ago Jeff handed us each a sensor off of a piece of equipment, and i happened to get a differential  pressure sensor with a high and low side.

i was able to hook up the leads. power ground and a signal lead. hooking my multi meter inline with the signal wire and ground. i was able to get a base reading of around .25 of a volt for ambient air pressure.

Blowing into the highside i was able to get it up to 4.1 volts out of the 5 volt system i was hooked into. and droped down to .015 of a volt on the low side.

  2. it was pretty cool and fun, and learning the the differential pressure difference between the front of the catalytic converter or DPF was interesting to learn about
