(...) Sure - I made a rather ugly version of it including limit switch for my skid steer loader model. There is a picture here; I don't actually think many modifications other than replacing the small and large pully with 8 and 40 tooth gears were (...)

(...) Thanks, Jen. I'll have a go at it. (...) Well, I was just thinking to what extent you could take the pressure sensor device. Actually, most of my own creations don't use the RCX. And they're mostly powered by the manually operated hand pump. (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

(...) Those pressure switches look quite neat! It's one step closer to the establishment of a link between the pneumatic system and the RCX... BTW I was just browsing your website (really great site BTW) and had a question...do you know what type of (...)

(...) Well, the markings say "TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE" at the top and "TRU-FLATE" at the bottom. It reads to 60 psi. No other markings to indicate its manufacture. It came courtesy of John Barnes together with the pressure sensor. The inlet has been (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

TRU-FLATE tire pressure guages are made by Stant. If you search the Web for "Tru-Flate" you will find several stores that sell them. I have been using a digital tire guage (like the one originally suggested on Soh Chio's site) up until now to (...)

(...) Thanks for the identification of the tire pressure gauge. I reckon the stores will soon be doing a brisk trade in them. But I would hesitate to use the word *calibrate* - the pressure sensor is a far more delicate device than the tire gauge. (...)
