Hi team.

I’ve got real time Tyre monitoring on my mind. What do people think of wifi pressure and temp monitoring systems?

What say you all?

Thanks.

Here’s something along those lines…

DIY Tire Temp Monitoring with Arduino

This thread got me looking into tire temperature sensors. AIM has a great setup that you can even get brackets for but its a bit out of my price range. So I decided to make my own. I found 35 deg FOV infrared temperature sensors and am using an arduino as the processing unit with an LCD to display the results. I’m still working on this but I’d say I’m about 75% done. I’m mostly waiting for the library to finish my 3d prints for the housing of the sensors. Plus I need to create brackets. I’…

Look forward to hearing more Eric.
Bummer about your eye - hope you and it are back on track soon.
