Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] depth gauges

[Al Secor <wreckdiver@frontiernet.net>]

Jon,

By the time we order custom PC boards and machine a housing for the pressure sensor, the price difference would be much...if a user was able to do his own pc board or point to point wiring on a perfboard  and machining for housing, that would be different, but for a home-built kit ala "Heathkit", the pressure gauge you found would be the better route.  Maybe PSUBS could become a dealer and get a price break on them!

I DO still plan to pursue the homemade version though if anyone DOES want to go that route.

Vance,

Here's a digital model I found.  I prefer LED display vs LCD, but this 
one comes with a backlight.  You choose your max pressure at ordering 
time and this one is $239.  Depending upon the cost of a good 
transducer, a home-built model might end up costing more.  I wonder if 
they would configure it to display depth directly.
