Re: Pressure Sensor

We bought a Nason pressure switch from McMaster-Carr, they sell them for preset pressures in 5 psi increments. we got an 80 psi switch, it turns on a light on the OI and tells the drivers that there's enough air to shoot the ball reliably.

They also sell pressure transducers and you can get them from other places like DigiKey, but this seems to be all we really needed, and it was easy to implement.
