madkaw Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 well I took the sender out to be able to measure the full side and all I get 0 ohms across the terminals no matter what position the arm is in. Did i burn up my sender or WHAT:cuss: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Read what again exactly? I didn't read all of Pete's stuff cause the equations were pretty easy to derive. If I use Vinh's numbers for the sender resistance and the guage numbers from Teakass's link, I can't get a solution that doesn't require negative resistances. I did double check it with Pete's spreadsheet and it said no solution also. I ran it a second time with the numbers you posted for the Ford guage (which summit doesn't carry in the style that Teakass linked) and that had no solution also. Maybe the sender numbers are not correct, or maybe there is a solution that is close but not exact. Do you remember what resistance values you used? R1 = 381.6 R2 = 2.3 You have to enable the "Analysis Toolpak - VBA" Excel Add-in (Tools -->Add-Ins...) for the calculations to work. I thought Pete mentioned that somewhere, but I couldn't find where he said it just now. Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a jerk - its been a long week...
