Tire PSI sensors

[dzubot]

Hi will Dynon consider adding support for tire pressure sensors? Would be great to be able to view tire pressure on the screen, especially when wheel pant removal is necessary to check tire pressure on my aircraft.

Aircraft tires generally use tubes, so you can't put a tire pressure monitor inside them like you can a tubeless car tire.

Are there senders made for this?

Here is a tire psi sensor/monitor. http://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/lgpages/tiresensor.php?clickkey=5865

Could it not be possible to make or work with company who makes sensors that screw onto valve stems?

Take a look at how big those sensors are- almost 1" cubes. Not sure those would fit under most wheel pants. The cheaper ones also go only to 50 PSI.

If someone wants to try them and can confirm they fit and work, then we can look into it.
