The ones with the integrated amplifier are very easy to hook up to an Arduino, though—the high school students I had in a robotics club last year hooked one up to an Arduino for use as a depth gauge.<br /><br />See<br /><br />http://gasstationwithoutpumps.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/hexmotor-2-3-and-pressure-sensor-boards/<br /><br />http://gasstationwithoutpumps.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/sensor-board-for-underwater-rov/<br /><br /><br />I'm using a different Freescale pressure sensor for my circuits class, because I want them to design the instrumentation amplifier themselves, rather than having an integrated amplifier. It is a nice example of a strain-gauge bridge.<br /><br />See http://gasstationwithoutpumps.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/pressure-sensor-boards-arrived/ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
