Complete newby here. I have a need for a display to display 3 separate are pressure readings in psi. I'd prefer to fit it in a round 52mm bezel which is a standard size for dashboard gauge, but happy with rectangular. Ideally like to display in a dial chart, but even plain numerical display would suffice.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction for parts and how to code?
Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
Please read the post at the start of any forum , entitled "How to use this Forum".

Can you please tell us your electronics, programming, arduino, hardware experience?
Do you have the pressure sensor specs/data, can you post links to them?
Thanks.. Tom..
Thanks for the reply. I have some coding experience in VBA, but never used Arduino. I can solder to save my life, but certainly not a maestro. Have tinkered with lots of hardware over the last 30 years.
I'm wanting to display the pressure in suspension airbags using something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/150PSI-Pressure-Transducer-Sensor-for-Oil-Fuel-Air-Water-5V-1-8-AU-Stock/274426373321?hash=item3fe51624c9:g:N3wAAOSwkCdcx8CV
I'd be happy with just 3 numbers on a screen, and if I'm capable maybe a nicer OLED screen to show a dial graph for each.
That's a pretty simple project and you should be able to find plenty of examples of similar ones. Do a search for Arduino weather stations or Arduino data loggers. Either one should get you on the right track for sampling and displaying analogue sensor readings. As for the display the classic 1604 is nice and easy to use although it may be a bit large to fit your bezel. If you don't want to go for a larger bezel then do a search of Arduino OLED displays.
