Digital can also refer to a stepper motor setup as per most decent gauges (compared to plugging a vac line in the actual (analogue) gauge).

Boost is pressure! |

It shouldn't matter if it's oil, water, air or anything else. The gauge just needs to see volts back from a sensor That said I wouldn't want a digital boost gauge as I imagine it would just be a blur of unreadable numbers. Rapidly fluctuating stuff needs a pointer type gauge IMO |

Hi, but the sensor range must fit, i aint measure with a 10bar sensor just 2,5 absolute it is possible but effects the accuracy greetz |

I refer to my earlier post: Quote: Don, not made my mind up about analogue or digital, I'm just not ruling anything out! These would fit the bill because as many people have pointed out, I’m not going to be constantly watching them whilst driving. All I’m doing is monitoring for excesses, the fact that these ‘alarm’ when set values are exceeded seem to indicate that they fit that requirement perfectly? TrackToyFour wrote: ......and I thought you wanted a boost gauge? AFAIK these mini digi gauges are temp and pressure only? Don, I do still need a boost gauge to replace the one I have on the top of my dash. . . this possible solution will be for oil temp, oil pressure and (probably) water temps. I was initially looking for boost built in but I have been ‘advised’ that I need to have better visibility of boost than a gauge in the centre console would provide. Hence the 3 din gauges to be 2x oil & 1x water. What I need to do now is work out costs etc and see if these end up more cost effective than the defi 3 din gauge solution which retails between £400 & £500 from what I can see . . . .

Do the auber gauges allow you to enter a 'look up table' of input voltage vs. reading ? If so, you can display anything attached to the ECU, refer to my digidash thread. Boost is linear, temperatures are an S curve steepest at 2.5V (approx 20C) All 0-5V. |

They also have the warning function but only a single event trigger not a full and/if/or/else stuff type logic. |

Auber will custom configure them for particular applications if there is enough interest. They are silly cheap and an industrial product so should be reliable. They originated being temp monitor & control modules for industrial ovens. I liked them so much I seriously considered becoming UK distributor but a serious lack of extracting digit prevailed. TBH I planned on fitting them to a hidden location and rigging up the external relay trigger for a klaxon. |
