Re: Who can help with building a temp gauge?	Wed, 04 May 2005 09:13

Thanks for the replies. Had a quick browse of the links but my knowledge of elec's is limited to 12v on 4 wheels. I understand the problem of voltage and signal loss over distance. Was hoping to run a signal over Cat5 cable as the rooms are already connected with a spare line. More in depth I'm running a compressor in a room outside the shop. I want to run a led to show on/off status, using 1 pair & 2 x temperature signals using 2 x pairs, if thats all I'll need. One temp in room and other temp in compressor cabinet. The compressor is 3 phase with control circuits of 24V A/C. Am hoping to use this to power the stuff if possible. Have seen the Jaycar units but am unsure about hacking and re-soldering the wiring and the effects it will have on signal (would need a second unit to check accuracy) and since it needs to be read by people who would be less than knowledgeable about what they are looking at... EnFlaMeD: What is a BMS? ndgcpr: What is SMD? Was looking to use LCD for numerical readout reater than leds. [Report message to a moderator]
