If you want to know exactly how many psi of air there is in the system, you will need an analog pressure sensor/transducer plumbed into the pneumatic system on your robot. You cannot use the standard pressure switch used on most FRC robots, as it is just a digital switch that toggles on or off between when it drops below ~95psi and then above ~115psi.
