According to the manual I only see pin hookups for resistive sensors. I have capacitance sensors
What pins locations do I use?

You will need to use a capacitance-to-voltage converter to output a voltage between 0-5 volts, and tie that into the standard EMS resistive inputs. Dynon used to sell a version of the convertors but I believe that's been discontinued. Another company by the name of Princeton makes a good one.

That's not correct. See the other identical question at:


with the answer on how to use capacitive senders. It's how I do it, and it works fine without converters.

Well I'll be dipped, you're correct. IIRC that wasn't an option when I built my aircraft.
