First post :^) …be gentle

Can I connect http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pressure-transducer-sender-200-psi-oil-fuel-air-/260785455839?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D3827227288237606429#ht_602wt_1020 this pressure transducer up directly to my Arduno Uno with out any additional circuitry in-between? I’m planning to power it from the Arduino’s 5V port, ground to the Arduino, and have the .5-4.5v output from the transducer going to one of the analog inputs. My transducer is going to be on a compressor in my garage and the wires will run from there to my Arduino attached to my iMac via usb. The distance from my compressor to the iMac/Arduino is about 30’. Any issues with this distance? What type of wire would folks recommend I use?

Thanks!

Yes it looks like you can.

From what I've read on the forum I think I'm going to go with 22 AWG solid wire. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049742

The problem with solid wire is that it fractures when subject to bending and vibration. I would always use stranded wire for this sort of thing.
