I have been interested in Jim Mason (and company)'s approach to process control and datalogging using an Arduino based microcontroller since he first announced its existence. I have done a little googling about Arduino in general, and now I am sorta fascinated with it. I already have a fair amount of electronic hobby stuff around here, so I bought an Arduino ATMega2560 last week ($60) and am starting to get familiar with it.
The reason for this post: Is anyone else out there using the Arduino as a process controller? And, has anyone found inexpensive low pressure sensors? I can't seem to find any in the +/- 20 inches WC range that are cheaper than about $40 in a 1 to 3 quantity. If you don't know what I am talking about, go to: http://wiki.gekgasifier.com/w/page/6123727/Gasifier-Control-Unit (If I was a little farther along, I'd just buy one) and then go to: http://www.arduino.cc/ A whole 'nother world!!!
