Opinions from airbag guys

Looking for ideas/pictures of air ride display panels. Undecided about doing analog or digital gauges. This looked interesting from Dakota Digital. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd391.htm

Was considering automatic ride height, but too expensive for me. As far as analog controls, was thinking of using a 5-way pneumatic selector switch with one gauge. I could then cycle the selector to get pressures from all corners and the tank. Haven't seen it done...yet.

Im all bagged up on my 52 and ill be plumbing soon. I like the digital idea but its a lil pricey. I may end up going that route tho.

Now you got me thinkin about the pneumatic selector. Most ive seen just have a tank gauge.

Im curious to see what others have done as well.

Re: Opinions from airbag guys

So this is what a quick search got me.

http://http://www.pneumadyne.com/pos...id=MPS-6-100-S

$100 for one valve didn't save much money. So the search continues. I'm curious about making my own custom display using an Arduino http://arduino.cc/ circuit board and 4-20 mA pressure senders. Still in research mode but if I find something that's either inexpensive or really cool looking ill post an update.

Re: Opinions from airbag guys

I've pretty much ruled out Accuair due to price. I'm hoping I can get what I need for under $300 and be exactly what I want.
