Hello,
This is my first post. My electronics skills are rudimentary at best. I am trying to measure air pressure via MPS20N0040D-D DIP. (I actually think I have a chinese variant of this sensor as my pinout is slightly different) First I would like to prototype the setup using a NI-DAQ and LabView. I currently can measure a differential voltage in mV that verifies my sensor is working, roughly 30mV over 0 - 15 PSI. Now with thoughts towards miniaturization I would like to use an instrumentation amplifier to amplify this signal for reading with an Arduino (~0-5V). This is where I am running into issues. First I am trying to use the instrumentation amp reading the output using my DAQ, then I will move to the arduino. I am currently using a AD620 instrumentation amp with Rg = 500 ohm => G = 100.
The sensor is energized using 5V as is the instrumentation amplifier. For the life of me I cannot get an amplified signal. I have three options for measurement in LabView: Differential, RSE, NRSE. I would like to measure via differential. I have attached a rudimentary circuit diagram. This is as far as I have gotten. Any suggestions on how to go about the measurement?
