Got me a telescopic inspection mirror for checking PCP pressure while shooting. Worked out well.

Good idea. I however want a talking digital gauge (Bluetooth to a phone or pad). They do it on cars so why not high pressure gauges?

There's your million dollar idea right there Thurmond! Don't be giving your secrets up, make it happen. I'm sure you will sell a Ship* load of them.

Check with your local scuba shop. There are several air integrated dive computers with Bluetooth connectivity. Don't know about the talking part.

Thanks Jim,
Local Scuba shop. Now that's funny right there.
I live in a desert and so rural of an area that most residents don't even know what Scuba Diving is. Many probably think Johnson is still president! lolClosest shop is 200 miles round trip but I will look online to see what might be adaptable.

Haha, that is a nifty idea ;-)
I pretty much know the shot count of each of my guns. So I just take out the appropriate amount of pellets and place them in an empty tin or lid. When they are gone, I know to air up.
My magazine fed Kalibrguns, I just load 4 mags and when they are spent it's time for air.
One would think my high dollar Thomas would come with an air gauge? LOL It does not, so I usually just put 65 or 75 pellets in the tin and when they are gone I know it's time to air back up to 3000 psi via my tank gauge.
At least I can shoot a whole 60 shot FT match on one fill. It's a shame my shooting and range finding skills aren't as up to par as the gun is accurate though ;-)

@CampFussell : A fill on my Cricket Mini will do me for 2-3 days of shooting sometimes as I'm not a FT shooter. I usually just make sure I'm on zero for the particular pellet I will be using that day and then wait for my "clients" to show up. And for some "odd" reason my clientele has been diminishing as of late. Plus, I'm still learning the gun and I don't do much consistent anything these days.

Well, I just updated my phone OS and now I cannot upload photos. Says “unknown file” I have posted some already if you look at my previous posts.

That is worth checking into for sure. I believe that the Daystate uses an Arduino Mini for their Computer.
Edit: I have found the Daystate Part # and made an inquiry to the manufacturer for 50 to 250 BAR and 50 to 300 BAR sensors. I am sure an Arduino Micro or Mini can be used to read and translate the sensor output to a Small OLed Display. The problem might be programming the Arduino since I am not a programmer but I can learn!
Sorry about cluttering this thread. If intenseaty22 desires I will start a new one concerning this subject.

just took my 2” inspection mirror out of my tool box and put it in my airgun tool pack, now I don’t have to move my rifle(s) from their shooting position to check air...great idea 22."intenseaty22"Got me a telescopic inspection mirror for checking PCP pressure while shooting. Worked out well.

Well then ..... an application engineer at the sensor firm contacted me today and we are talking about potential solutions currently. More to come................

Well since Eduard of EdGun announced his electronic gauge on November 20th I have been wondering if he had already begun pursuing this idea of if I provided the idea and he ran with it! ?????????? No problem either way since he had the resources to capitalize the idea and I did not but I do wonder! Needless to say I have not pursued this further after Ed's announcement.

I did see that! Things that make you go humm for sure. It would still be nice to see the readout in another location than just the front. Looking down the “business end” doesn’t really bother me, it’s just not convenient.
