It doesn't work because it is a differential pressure sensor, if you put the whole thing IN the bag, the compared pressures are exactly the same, even if you hit it and it shows a reading difference, it is not operating correctly, you need a tube.
I'm honestly not sure I follow - I understand why the compared pressures are the same, but I don't understand the tube. Do you mean a small tube fitted over the cylinder piece of the component? edit: also, thanks for the comment.
Exactly, fitted over the cylinder piece... To be honest I'm not completely sure it is a differential pressure sensor. I just bought one of these, I want to use it on a pressure cooker at a certain distance and after a pressure gauge syphon, with a tube, I'll report back to tell if it worked. @@BeckyMarshallDesign
@@jerryocrow1 I'm not sure what you meant, but I just confirmed it is a differential pressure sensor and it needs a tube, check out this link: langster-electronic-gadgets.kong365.com/en-gb/collections/all/products/pressure-sensor-breakout-board---mps20n0040d-d/163627
@@BeckyMarshallDesign Yes, you need a tube, and it is a differential pressure sensor, like Alexander Lang says in his blog and his shop where he sells his breakout board for this sensor. The sensor just arrived and i notice it has a hole beside the cylinder component, that is where it detects the "outside" pressure, in other words, the pressure that it compares with the pressure inside of the cylinder component.
This is a differential pressure sensor. It has a small hole at the bottom and only measures the pressure difference to the air connector at the top. Otherwise, you could only measure the absolute athmospheric pressure, wich is useless in this case. You don't seem to be trying to measure the altitude over sea level of your lab ;) You want to measure the pressure of the inflatable relative to the ambient pressure, so you have to connect a tube to the air connnector at the top of the sensor and put that into the pillow or you need to use a t-connector at the output of the pump and connect the sensor there. Don't try to measure pressure while the compressor is running. Once in a while stop the compressor and wait for > 100 ms before measurements. The pressure oscilates massively due to the oscillating output of the compressor when it is running and for a short time after. I have built two complex machines using this approach and it works perfectly. I use the mpx5010dp (0-100 mBar) sensor for balloons and larger inflatables. It is not cheap (about USD 20) but measurements are very precise. You will need a sensor for higher pressures if inflating these small pillows so tight. MPX5050DP should be fine. It goes up to 50 kPa/500 mBar. You can calculate pressures in kPa or mBar with a very simple formula written in the data sheet.
hello ,sir Can I use Omron 2SMPP-02 sensor in place of this sensor for STM32 Or Ardunio if I can use plz suggest me the ckt diagram for it . because its output voltage is 3mV and plz suggest the ckt diagram for amplifying the output voltage
Hi, sorry not sure if anyone else has already commented on this, but that sensor is a differential sensor and you have put the both ends, measurement nozzle and the comparative atmospheric windows in the same space, which practically means that the gradient measured is 0, hence no reading.
I"m wondering if just the sensor tip should be inside the bag, and not it entirely inside. Maybe it needs a differential pressure to measure, putting it entirely inside there is no pressure diference.
This video came up while searching Arduino air pressure projects. Interesting experiment and I like that you didn't cut out the mistake. We all have those moments. The sensor is most likely a differential/delta/relative sensor that needs to have a reference outside of the inflatable(may have an air hole or flexible membrane in the back of the sensor.) If it was an absolute sensor it should work inside the inflatable and give you a good reading. The down side of the absolute sensor is altitude compensation. Here in Colorado(5300 ft) my air pressure is ~12.5psi/84kpa and sea level is ~14.5psi/101kpa. That 2 psi difference could be enough for an inflatable to pop. Now you need a second sensor to measure the barometric pressure before airing up the inflatable. The best option is still the differential/relative sensor with a reference to the atmosphere(barometric) Note: the weather station barometric pressure is a altitude compensated value.
Hello, Everything was good except for one small point that caused incorrect results. The sensor needs two different air pressures to measure pressure. One is the reference air pressure, where the sensor is located and against which it measures the secondary air pressure. The second is the secondary air pressure, which differs from the reference air pressure, and we intend to measure this difference with the sensor. For the sensor to function correctly, the sensor body must be outside the measurement location, where we have the reference air pressure. The air pressure we want to measure should be directly connected to the sensor's tube interface so that the sensor can read the pressure difference between these two areas. When the entire sensor is inside the chamber, there is no reference pressure to differ from the secondary pressure, and the sensor will have no output regardless of how high the internal pressure rises because there is no pressure difference.
Nice video. Well, I've been working on making a water gun using 2 litre Soda bottle. The idea is to use the pump to fill the bottle up, once we get enough water take the input pipe (of the pump) off the water source and let the air fill the bottle hence building pressure in it. The output is the air compressor gun that throws out the pressurized water. I was looking to find a way to monitor or regulate the pressure in the bottle (don't want it to blow up). I wanted to stop the pump at certain pressure. Was very excited when I saw you using the same pump and doing exactly what I wanted. Will give your schematics a try, if I succeed, will let you know.
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad me sharing my (sometimes embarrassing) science experiments is useful for people. Makes it worth it. Please, do share how your project ends up!
a couple of years later then you but what brought me here? well, I'm thinking of a way to have an arduino meassuring depth, so basicaly the same setup you have but when the bag is going under water it will compress. for my project i am going to try out a BMP180 btw, Thx for your video
One end of the sensor must be outside the pillow to register the pressure differential. Put a hose on the stub and seal the hose in the pillow with the sensor outside the pillow.
Thank you Ms Becky! your video is very interactive. I was going to go with the pressure sensor likely the one you are using but I'm reconsidering it now as troubleshooting it will waste a lot of time. Thank you for saving me a lot of time whilst sacrificing yours. Pretty impressed with your diy airtight pillow :)
Hello, nice work dear, but for the sensor to work we need to put it out side the bag and only connect a little tube inside the bag. this is because that pessure sensor has a little cavity in the bottom for mesuring the amount of distance in a very little diafragm.
Instead of a bag, try a blood pressure bulb with hose onto nipple of little tube. But, this might be two extreme as to up and down. You might "T" into a bag. Then, squeeze bulb to raise pressure into tube/sensor/bag. Read results. Release bupb knob to release seal which allows air out which lowers pressure which is read and reported. Science is trial and error. Mostly error..
Well it's said tha you learn more from failures than from success, doesn't it? btw I learned a lot from comments: this is a differrential sensor! compares air presure from above to the hole beneath! saved me lot of time! you asked what brought me here: our government in Argentina connected a WHOOOOLEEE bunch of new users to the wateer netwrok....BUT the managment company DID NOT add pumps so..water pressure is low...and I plan to make a buz from that!! lol ( I mean installing automatic pumps)

Shouldn't respond unless it's an absolute reference. Should just have and tube connected to the bag and then connected to an external sensor, which will be referenced to atmosphere.
Isn't that pressure sensor a differential pressure sensor it has ports on the side for atmospheric measurements And one main port for the pressure side?
Hi Becky, I'm just starting my PhD this semester working on pressure sensors for tires using 3d printed sensors I was really hoping you get lucky with this project so that I can follow your steps. However, you gave me some ideas such as using the Arduino which I have never used before. I want to evaluate sensor performance on all aspects like speed, load,pressure, tempreture, Force,...etc. if anyone can help me please let me know. Thanks Becky and All
Hey Becky, Good informative video. Do we have any pressure sensors that measures the pressure of Helium inside an Helium balloon. If you know of any good compact ones, please let me know.
Nice work. I’m curious to find out if you eventually get that sensor working. So I subscribed. :) I’ve been working on heat sealing polyethylene shapes for a few years. Seems like pretty useful thing to have a low pressure warning on some products, or the self-inflating feature you’re working on here. I haven’t made any videos yet but might do so someday.
Derek, thanks for the comment! I've got a heat sealing experiment video coming up soon (spoiler: lots of fails!), and I'm dying to know what YOU know about it! I started making these videos because the info was not out there on the internet, and because I like to teach and mentor. I encourage you to document your experiments too! My ultimate learnings about the pressure sensor: air pressure changes when the volume of air exceeds the volume of its container. In an oxygen tank, we can increase air pressure without breaking the metal tank. But in a vinyl inflatable, not only will the container pop, but it will expand and stretch until the moment it pops. So the reading I experienced here ruclips.net/video/SSQb03E6DUo/видео.htmlm30s is when you see the pressure sensor working. Essentially, I learned that the pressure sensor wasn't right for this particular project, and if I wanted to monitor air loss, I'd have to find another way.
Thanks for the reply. Btw, before I forget again: I found your video by searching for “diy inflatable”. I inflate my creations with hand pumps, one of which I bought from a kitesurfing store and it has a pressure gauge on it. Most inflatable kitessurfing kites are inflated to 7-8 lbs per sq. inch. My inflatables can only handle 1-2 lbs per sq. inch. Now that I think about it I didn’t look at the units on the guage. Maybe it’s lbs per sq. ft. I’ll check.
When I inflated my shapes to 2 psi the 4 mil polyethylene (PE) sheeting I used started to bulge and distort. This stretchiness severely limits how much weight an inflated PE tube can support. However, there are still applications for low pressure inflated PE cylinders, such as kites or other toys. I was thinking it would be nice to have a wireless pressure loss indicator on my kitesurfing kite that would let me know if it had a slow leak. That was one reason I was interested in your pressure sensor experiment. I wish I had time to pursue the idea, maybe someday...
I think one of the reasons that there is not a lot of information out there on making inflatable‘s is that there is a lot of potential for patenting new ways of making them. Also, people who have an interest in creating inflatable‘s commercially may avoid patenting their techniques or tools, because they prefer to keep them as a trade secret. I am in the process of doing a patent search to see if the things I’ve created are already patented. If it’s not, I’ll apply for a patent and make and post videos of how to build them. If it’s already patented, I’ll then be able to make and post videos sooner. It’s super fun to make a breakthrough and I’m itching to share the discoveries I’ve made. Especially since I’ve benefitted from other people posting their discoveries.
Dear Becky, firstly thanks for sharing but we starter, need something real working. Maybe you can use any ADC 16bit or more up. Can you re-test and share again with this way. Thank you
Ok so. Hear me out. You know how animated cos wings work. Well. I think this is a good idea for making them ultralight, strong, with a smallll computation unit capaple of carrying out fluctuation. This is actually a really really really bomb idea.
I have a question Becky, I want to know the exact value of pressure. Arduino can only read the value of 0~1023. How can I know the exact value of pressure??
Unfortunately I'm quite ignorant of the science of pressure -- all the information I have is on my website, linked in the video description. Good luck, and please share with us if you learn more through your own experiments!

Hola, muy buen video! ¿me puedes recomendar algun sensor para medir la presion que ejerse un liquido dentro de una manguera? la misma nunca superarara los 80 cmH2O y el fluido sera suero fisiologico. la manguera es fina de aproximadamente 4 o 5mm de diametro. yo tengo un sensor US9116, pero no estoy seguro de poder usarlo con un fluido liquido de suero fisiologico, ya que creo mide presion de fluidos gaseosos. GRACIAS!
Not connecting that pressure sensor- sounds like something I would do. Hahahaha! P.S. I'm so tempted to get some glue and stick pieces of vinyl together.
Hi Becky I'm thinking of doing something not even remotely similar would like to do the same with much higher pressure with oled with menu for setting upper and lower lower pressure limits and mosfet connected to car tyre pump to pressure vessel and gas solenoid as trigger. Trigger connected to IR proximity sensor and barrell loaded with dog poo so I can conceal it near my door and remotley shoot shit st door to door sales people and my mother in law. Would also like IR proximity sensor switch to camer to cspture the highlights. Don't really need help with coding or hardware so I don't really know why a shared it however if you wanted to make a girly version of a of the self inflating pressure controlled proximity sensing poo cannon that shoots rose petals or chocolates or something less insidious than poo then go for it I'm sure your subscribers will love it
Hi Becky. I like making games. Recently I made a game halfchess.com . I want to make some AR games next and want to come up with a glove that has a pressure sensor in it. Thanks for making the video. If you wish to write back, you can do so from the `email us` button (in footer) on halfchess website. Cheers
Smart woman.. sensor can't be inside.. only tip of it ..otherwise can't measure. Not at all.... can't believe so short thinking.. just imagine throw glass into water and it will not crack at 100m deep but put the lid and it will break the glass.. think why.. think why sensor is good.. that is what they made input for air.. and not said to fit whole sensor inside the tank.. haaaa I don't believe you mention some designs .. this was no brainer.. it requires to have difference by putting in inside the bag you created no difference in pressure and it need to be In Normal pressure and only inlet to be pleased under the pressure..

Dear Becky, firstly thanks for sharing but we starter, need something real working. Maybe you can use any ADC 16bit or more up. Can you re-test and share again with this way. Thank you
Ok so. Hear me out. You know how animated cos wings work. Well. I think this is a good idea for making them ultralight, strong, with a smallll computation unit capaple of carrying out fluctuation. This is actually a really really really bomb idea.
I like this video. She is fun :). Very cool, interesting even though I haven't really watched many like this. So thanks & good job! : )
Hey, can I have the full coding for the pressure sensor? Tq for ur help
link in description
langster-electronic-gadgets.kong365.com/en-gb/collections/all/products/pressure-sensor-breakout-board---mps20n0040d-d/163627
I'm trying to incorporate a depth sensor with couple thrusters using an Arduino
Very interesting
You're resourceful!
Hi Becky !
Thank you very much for sharing your experiment.
WHat kind of glue did you use for this ? It looks really strong!
HH-66, check out my other videos!
Yes, Becky Wonders. ... and wonders, and wonders.
I have a question Becky, I want to know the exact value of pressure. Arduino can only read the value of 0~1023. How can I know the exact value of pressure??
Unfortunately I'm quite ignorant of the science of pressure -- all the information I have is on my website, linked in the video description. Good luck, and please share with us if you learn more through your own experiments!
Can you give me the pressure sensor s/ and info please.
Wait... What did you inflate?
Hey. Your cat litter video is hella bomb. And you nerdy and cool. And then i see keto on your channel? Girl you're killing it. I love you. Be well.
hello ,mam Can I use Omron 2SMPP-02 sensor in place of this sensor for STM32 Or Ardunio if I can use plz suggest me the ckt diagram for it . because its output voltage is 3mV and plz suggest the ckt diagram for amplifying the output voltage
Your kitty litter video brought me here. I was trying so hard to figure out what your job was. You seem to be having such a good time 😊 i heard at the end that your in school. What kind of profession are you going for after graduating?
I have question for you can you help out please
Can pressure sensors be used to measure weight of a storage box?
Hola, muy buen video! ¿me puedes recomendar algun sensor para medir la presion que ejerse un liquido dentro de una manguera? la misma nunca superarara los 80 cmH2O y el fluido sera suero fisiologico. la manguera es fina de aproximadamente 4 o 5mm de diametro. yo tengo un sensor US9116, pero no estoy seguro de poder usarlo con un fluido liquido de suero fisiologico, ya que creo mide presion de fluidos gaseosos. GRACIAS!
Not connecting that pressure sensor- sounds like something I would do. Hahahaha!
P.S. I'm so tempted to get some glue and stick pieces of vinyl together.
Je ne peut pas regarder le vidéo pourquoi svp j'ai besoin de ce projet pour ma soustance
why don't you a flat blade for doing window tint on your seams
Congratulations from Chile, for your video.

Это датчик можно использовать для турбины?
I love turbines.
Good job.
what is the voltage input needed for that pump?
you help me a lot
Hello, may I get this Sour Code
Also i think you just gave me an almost... Blasphemous idea for a bomb cosplay.
Hi Becky I'm thinking of doing something not even remotely similar would like to do the same with much higher pressure with oled with menu for setting upper and lower lower pressure limits and mosfet connected to car tyre pump to pressure vessel and gas solenoid as trigger. Trigger connected to IR proximity sensor and barrell loaded with dog poo so I can conceal it near my door and remotley shoot shit st door to door sales people and my mother in law. Would also like IR proximity sensor switch to camer to cspture the highlights. Don't really need help with coding or hardware so I don't really know why a shared it however if you wanted to make a girly version of a of the self inflating pressure controlled proximity sensing poo cannon that shoots rose petals or chocolates or something less insidious than poo then go for it I'm sure your subscribers will love it
you are amazing!
can sensor be used for liquids
not connected to anything, happened to me too once
I hope you will make alot of electronic videos! You are funny 😀👍
thank for sharing. maybe you can get some ideas from this site i have found.

why that girl on the back is sooo unhappy?
thanks lady
Can i know pressure sensor name and sensor number
All information is on the website I mention and link. www.beckymarshall.com/inflatables.html
The pressure sensor: amzn.to/2TWHv0o
Hi Becky. I like making games. Recently I made a game halfchess.com . I want to make some AR games next and want to come up with a glove that has a pressure sensor in it. Thanks for making the video. If you wish to write back, you can do so from the `email us` button (in footer) on halfchess website. Cheers
Smart woman.. sensor can't be inside.. only tip of it ..otherwise can't measure. Not at all.... can't believe so short thinking.. just imagine throw glass into water and it will not crack at 100m deep but put the lid and it will break the glass.. think why.. think why sensor is good.. that is what they made input for air.. and not said to fit whole sensor inside the tank.. haaaa I don't believe you mention some designs .. this was no brainer.. it requires to have difference by putting in inside the bag you created no difference in pressure and it need to be In Normal pressure and only inlet to be pleased under the pressure..
Thank you for this helpful video madam.
Nice 👍
So ginous
you're awesome

ale łapa
supper funny :))
Don't make any more such clever designs ... haaaa
Al parecer.....es ella la que se quedo conectada a la bomba de aire..
