    Default Pid that converts voltage to pressure

    I want to convert a/c pressure sensor voltage to psi. I looked through the existing pid and didn't find one.

    Hi aaronr,
    There is a calc PID for converting voltage to PSI for engine oil pressure. I have attached my Calc PID txt with that calc in it. I would think that you could use the same principle for the A/C sensor

    calc_pids.txt.

    It is the bottom calc.

    Cheers

    So my only question is 5v should be 325psi?

    I have attached a Calc txt file that only has the engine oil PID in it. I thought the first one might be a bit confusing.

    Calc_pids_EOPS.txt

    Cheers

    You need to know the range of your sensor. This will dictate what 5v equals.

    I am by far NOT an expert on Calc PIDs. Below is a link to where I found the engine oil PID. Maybe these guys can give you better information.

    joecar is good with calc pids.

    Hey aaronr,
    I just found this link that may be helpful for converting your voltage. It also provides the PID to log.
