Hi there,

will it be possible to add fuel pressure sensor to the AdcVcc(pin A20 or/and B8). We want to messure the pressure of the
feeding pump with a resistance sensor.

We are going to use the Utcomp as a data logger for a sport tractor. when I finish the project i will poste some pictures :D

Thank you in advance,

Jack

Hi Jack. What kind of sensor do you have exactly? (resistance range and output pressure range). What is your min/max fuel pressure?

Hi,

Its a VDO 360-081-032-057C

0-10 bar
10 - 184 Ohm

The maximum will be 6bar.

In the discription of the sensor say that te voltage range is 6 to 24v, but we tested it serveral times on an other channel and it works fine.

I added it to "todo" list, but at the moment you can connect it as oil pressure sensor (or boost) and change icons in UTCOMP-PRO - it will work in the same way.

Oke thats great.

Other question
Yesterday the display stopt working, we checked the wiring tape, the utcomp works and react to the pc. Is it possible to measure the build in fuse?

Thanks

In utcomp is overcurrent protection which triggers at lower level then fuse. If fuse is dagamed then utcomp does not work at all (power is disconnected). Under what circumstances display stopped working? Do you have voltmeter to measure some diagnostics points on display? If yes, please send me picture of bottom side of display and I mark some points. You can also send display to us and we will check it (it is recommend to attach display tape too).

Just for information - resistance pressure sensor already added to AdcVcc1 and AdcVcc2 inputs.
This feature will be included with incomming official update.
