UrbanFarmer wrote:First, a description of the formula syntax for the 0999C is in this post. As to whether that is the correct formula... the input to the formula is the output from the InterfaceKit - a value from 0 to 1000. Where 0=0volts=0psi and 1000=5volts=30psi. Therefore each value point = 0.03psi (30/1000). So I would think something like x*0.03 is what you want.I'm using x/33 and it seems to be working, but I have yet to thread in the pressure sensor into the pipe that has between 5 and 10 PSI. I have to shut down my system to do that.
Still would like to know if that is the right formula.
The problem I was having was solved by reloading the phidgets plugin a second time.

I think you will find that works much better and will still allow you to use the Phidgets Prefs pane Bonjour tab to access the display.I tried adding another new LCD directly to a USB port (a different kit & LCD serial number) . The Phidgets service in Systems Preferences can see the new (additional) LCD 1204/3655 and can even control and initialize it. And I can control the backlight. When I try to add a standalone Phidgets device, I can chose Configure Phidget LCD Screen Device, put in the Interface kit number, Select Local USB Port, but there is still no new USB serial port number.

Phidgets Plugin Error textLCD Exception (textLCD Error) 5: Phidget not physically attached.
(I can see and operate the LCD from the Sys Pref - Phidgets service.)
I am trying to just send status information (such as water tank levels) to display on the LCD without having to attach it to an SBC..

The LCD is not included in the Bonjour pane, but it shows up in General and Labels.
