Pressure Sensor - Measuring and Monitoring Pressure with Arduino

The Importance and Utility of Pressure Sensors

Pressure sensors are essential components in various applications, ranging from industrial automation to environmental monitoring. They allow us to measure and monitor pressure levels in different systems, providing valuable data for analysis, control, and safety purposes.

In this article, we will explore how to use a pressure sensor with Arduino, enabling you to integrate pressure measurement capabilities into your projects. We will provide a detailed example project, along with the necessary components and sample codes, to help you get started.

Project: Pressure Monitoring System

The project aims to create a pressure monitoring system using an Arduino board and a pressure sensor. The system will continuously measure the pressure and display it on an LCD screen. Additionally, it will sound an alarm if the pressure exceeds a predefined threshold.

The objectives of this project are:

  1. Measure and display real-time pressure readings.
  2. Set a threshold value and trigger an alarm when the pressure exceeds it.
  3. Provide a user-friendly interface through an LCD screen.

List of Components:

  1. Arduino Uno - 1x
  2. Pressure Sensor (MPX10DP) - 1x
  3. LCD Display (16x2) - 1x
  4. Breadboard - 1x
  5. Jumper Wires - As required
  6. Potentiometer (10k) - 1x
  7. Resistor (220 Ohms) - 1x
  8. Buzzer - 1x

You can find these components at the following links:

  • Arduino Uno: [Link]
  • Pressure Sensor (MPX10DP): [Link]
  • LCD Display (16x2): [Link]
  • Breadboard: [Link]
  • Jumper Wires: [Link]
  • Potentiometer (10k): [Link]
  • Resistor (220 Ohms): [Link]
  • Buzzer: [Link]

Examples:

Example 1: Reading Pressure Values

// Libraries
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>

// Constants
const int pressurePin = A0;

// Variables
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);

void setup() {
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  lcd.print("Pressure Sensor");
  lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
  lcd.print("Reading values...");
  delay(2000);
  lcd.clear();
}

void loop() {
  int pressureValue = analogRead(pressurePin);
  float pressure = map(pressureValue, 0, 1023, 0, 100);

  lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
  lcd.print("Pressure: ");
  lcd.print(pressure);
  lcd.print(" psi");

  delay(500);
}

This code reads the analog value from the pressure sensor connected to pin A0. It maps the value to a pressure range (0-100 psi) and displays it on the LCD screen. The pressure reading is updated every 500 milliseconds.

Example 2: Pressure Alarm

// Libraries
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>

// Constants
const int pressurePin = A0;
const float pressureThreshold = 50.0;
const int buzzerPin = 8;

// Variables
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);

void setup() {
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  lcd.print("Pressure Sensor");
  lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
  lcd.print("Monitoring...");
  delay(2000);
  lcd.clear();
}

void loop() {
  int pressureValue = analogRead(pressurePin);
  float pressure = map(pressureValue, 0, 1023, 0, 100);

  lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
  lcd.print("Pressure: ");
  lcd.print(pressure);
  lcd.print(" psi");

  if (pressure > pressureThreshold) {
    lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
    lcd.print("ALERT! High pressure");
    tone(buzzerPin, 1000);
  } else {
    noTone(buzzerPin);
    lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
    lcd.print("Normal pressure");
  }

  delay(500);
}

This code builds upon the previous example and adds an alarm functionality. If the pressure exceeds the predefined threshold (50 psi), an alert message is displayed on the LCD screen, and a buzzer connected to pin 8 is activated.
