Hi, I'm making a boost gauge for my car and a bit stuck with sensors selection.
Common candidates for similar projects I found are MPX5700AP and MPX4250AP.
Here are the key params:
MPX5700AP: 2.18 PSI ~ 101.53 PSI, error ±2.5%
MPX4250AP: 2.9 PSI ~ 29.01 PSI, error ±1.5%
The first one has a great pressure range, but a 2.5% error, second one's pressure range isn't enough for me, as I need something that can show a relative boost of up to 20 PSI, so ideal operating range is 2.9-36 PSI.
The 2.5% error margin is quite big, so a reading of say 15 PSI is in fact somewhere between 14.6 and 15.4 PSI, so I'm looking for something more accurate. E.g. this one MPXH6250AC6U.
MPXH6250AC6U: 2.9 PSI ~ 36.26 PSI, error ±1.5%
What puzzles me is that I couldn't find any other DIY boost gauge projects using this sensor, so maybe there's a reason why no one used it that I'm missing? Or should I just go for it?
Thanks in advance!
