Re: Read air tank pressure to dashboard?

Hi Wyatt,

The control system doesn't have a native way to read pressure, however we sell an analog pressure sensor that you can connect to one of your analog inputs. You can then calculate and display your system pressure on the dashboard.

Take a look at the REV Analog Pressure Sensor and let me know if you have any questions!

Edit: Looks like you found it!
