Y = MX +C"

In my case, I'm operating from 0-2kpa.

You can cut your Phidget cable and solder ...

The 1136 does work but I don't know how long it will work for because it is designed for clean air, and am considering purchasing the sensor in the attachment which is specifically designed for gasses like lpg. I believe I can wire it t...

Measuring gas burner level on a coffee roaster with phidgets

I’m upgrading a coffee roaster that uses a basic gas burner as a heat source. I’d like to be able to graph changes in the amount of heat being applied using roast monitor software. I just don’t know how to electronically monitor those changes. Could anyone help me out?
