(...) Mass airflow sensor on a Eagle Talon/Mitsubish Eclipse/Plymouth Laser. Hmm..it sounds like it might be a lot more work to actually get something like this to work reliably in a car where all of the above can vary by a great amount. -Paul (27 years ago, 17-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) I'll have to check this out. We havn't actually used hot-wire-anemometers recently, partly because we havn't had the need, and partly because vortex-shedding flowmeters are all the rage right now. My memory is they are not linear, but that the (...) (27 years ago, 17-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

make sure you get FEMALE header for the HB itself. The only male header is for the LCD, to plug it into its female socket on the HB. It looks like the ED72xx parts are MALE. You probably want ED71xx for female. Please note I haven't ordered ED7xxx (...) (27 years ago, 17-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I'm trying to order the handy board headers (J3-4, J6-8, etc). I've got a digi-key part number of ED72xx-ND where xx is the number of pins for the female. Is this correct?
