    Do you mean air pressure as in barometric or as in a compressor?

    I have not used this particular model, that is why I asked if it was barometric.

    Any how. The way I use other parts from this company is to set up a voltage divider to scale to 0 - 10 VDC down to 0 - 5 VDC. Then use a chip with an ADC port. At least 3 pins will be needed.

    Be sure , I do not use it , too . It is more expensive . I have , for a few $ , a Smartec pressure sensor type "SPD030G 0 – 2.0 Bar" .

    I use a Silicon Microstructures sensor to measure very small amounts of pressure ( tenths of inches of water) . One of their products may be suitable for your use.

    Not enough information!

    What air pressure do you wish to measure?

    I used the amplified analog out version and fed it into the A/D converter. With averaging, I get accurate .2" - 1.0" H20 readings.

    My apologies to all; my reply was entered when there was only the original post present. I don't know why it took so long to appear!

    Please disregard what otherwise seems to be a fairly silly belated question.
