In order to use the gauge, you'll need to:
- Build the gauge head; and
- Connect the gauge head to your microcontroller.
Digikey links provided for convenience, but feel free to order from your favorite electronic components distributor.
You can use any method you'd like to connect the 5 pins (HEAT, 3V3, GND, SCL, SDA) from the gauge head to your microcontroller. We've had good results using RJ11 connectors with CAT3 ethernet cables up to ~10 feet (~3 meters).
