[Gasification] Process controllers for gasifier/engine control and datalogging, Are there any Arduino users out there?

Pete,

Try this:

At least it will give you a digital threshold.  I have had good luck with Dwyer stuff.

I have been interested in Jim Mason (and company)’s approach to process control and datalogging  using an Arduino based microcontroller since he first announced its existence.  I have done a little googling about Arduino in general, and now I am sorta fascinated with it.  I already have a fair amount of electronic hobby stuff around here, so I bought an Arduino ATMega2560 last week ($60) and am starting to get familiar with it.
  The reason for this post:
  Is anyone else out there using the Arduino  as a process controller?
And, has anyone found inexpensive low pressure sensors?  I can’t seem to find any in the +/- 20 inches WC range that are cheaper than about $40 in a 1 to 3 quantity.
 
If you don’t know what I am talking about,  go to:

(If I was a little farther along, I’d just buy one)
 
and then go to:

A whole ‘nother world!!!
