Digital Aux Air Pressure Gauge

Very cool, Tom.

Nice job!

Nicely done. Do the old gage and new gage match in pressure readings??

Truk, We need to talk. One of the big pieces of data relates to how much pressure it takes for us to raise our coaches to ride height at each corner.

This is an opportunity for a techno-geek to be able to monitor that. Obviously the aux pressure is another good reading to have. It wouldn't hurt to have a small switch panel that lets a person that needs to know everything about the coach have the ability to check a whole series of pressures. We could add barometric pressure, coolant system pressure, manifold pressure, brake system pressures downstream from the relay valves, floor slide pressures, etc.

Ted - Actually the gauge in the steering compartment is pretty close to the digital.

Jon - Some of the old trucks used to have a pressure gauge in the dash group for brake pressure and I thought that was was good. It wouldn't be too difficult to tap into the brake system and this gauge can read two different pressures by installing a single throw double pole switch. It would be easy to see how much pressure it takes from the aux to move air bags, so I may do a little experimenting while hooked up to shop air.

Jon:
Jdub needs holding tank pressure.

Re: JDUB's holding tank pressure.......I am not sure pressure gauges go to infinity.

Truk,

I had a little tongue in cheek on the gauges and what we could monitor, but I for one would be interested in doing some instrumentation because apart from satisfying a bit of curiosity, gauges on each air bag system (L Rear, R Rear, Front) would provide not only a lot of information, but would also be used to measure system health.
