Compressor Pressure Sensor

[DonRotolo]

"Make" a pressure sensor?

Technically, if some company can make one, so can you. I suppose.
But practically: No. You should buy one.
Something like this should do.

Well, maybe not that one exactly—it doesn't have a barbed fitting for attaching a tube. (I've seen similar ones designed to accommodate tubing in that way, but I'm not sure if they're sized for FRC-legal tubing.) The one in the old KOP was embedded in a brass NPT-threaded fitting, and avoided tubing altogether.

And definitely check the rules closely before using these in competition. They're exposed to air pressure, so would almost certainly be considered a pneumatic part, and therefore be subject to stringent regulations.
