Race technology dash 2 sensors again!

Hi

Done a search and found some useful stuff on voltages and resistors etc but can anyone share their calculations for migrating from the stock ETB digidash sensors?

I have values from the sensors using the 5v reference and 910ohmn resistors but the numbers are all over the place.

Looking for oil pressure, oil temp and fuel as the rest are passed over canbus.

Thanks
Paul

Depends how accurate you want the reading. I put in 2 litres at a time and took readings up to bout 40 or so litres. The more readngs you get the more accurate the readings do not tend to plot a straight line either. The shape of the fuel tank also adds to the mix. Here's the graph of mine



I have a dip tube sender which reads 0 when there is still 5 litres left rather than set at 5 I've set at 0 so I have 5 litres in reserve so to speak I'll take one more reading when the tank is full just to make it a little more accurate.

A right PITA but its best to get it right. All the best with it
