MSP300

Arduino library for I2C MSP300 pressure transducer.

The library is experimental and not tested yet (no hardware).

Description

The MSP300 is an industrial digital pressure transducer. This library implements the I2C version (J) of the sensor. It is written based upon the datasheet.

The library does not implement the SPI or analog version.

Note: be aware to buy the right sensor: PSI/BAR, SPI/I2C/analog and I2C address as these are hardcoded. (OK pressure output can be converted)

As the sensor is industrial quality, many applications can be realized with it.

Issues, remarks, experience and improvements are welcome, please open an issue on https://github.com/RobTillaart/MSP300.

Available pressure ranges

• PSI := 100, 200, 300, 500, 1K, 3K, 5K, 10K, 15K
• BAR := 7, 10, 20, 35, 70, 200, 350, 700, 1000

I2C connection

RED	2.7 – 5.0V
BLACK	GND
GREEN	SCL
WHITE	SDA
YELLOW	NC

Analog version

For Arduino analog output version 3 is also interesting. It provide 0.5-4.5 volt output which matches many ADC ranges.

White wire is the output (page 4 datasheet).

This version is not supported in the library.

Related libraries

This library is related to:

I2C

Address

The MSP300 has a fixed address, however there a five different supported. So without a multiplexer you can have up to 5 transducers on one I2C bus. The address is in the product number of the sensor you buy. (check datasheet Page 7).

code	address
0	0x28
1	0x36
2	0x46
3	0x48
4	0x51

Speed

The sensor should work at 100 - 400 KHz I2C.

Interface

#include "MSP300.h"

Constructor

The library has a number of functions which are all quite straightforward.

• MSP300(uint8_t address, TwoWire *wire = &Wire) constructor
• bool begin(uint8_t sda, uint8_t scl, int maxValue) ESP32 a.o initializing of Wire. maxValue is the maximum the sensor can read. This can be either PSI or BAR.
• bool begin(int maxValue) for UNO. maxValue is the maximum the sensor can read.
• bool isConnected() See if address set in constructor is on the bus.
• bool setAddress(const uint8_t deviceAddress)
• uint8_t getAddress()

Read

• uint32_t readPT() must be called before pressure or temperature can be read. Returns the raw value which is useful for debugging.
• float getPressure() returns the pressure in PSI or BAR (whatever sensor you have).
• float getTemperature() returns the temperature in degrees Celsius. Range 0..55° Celsius

Calibration

• void setPressureCounts(uint16_t Pmin = 1000, uint16_t Pmax = 15000) set the count rates. Use with care. Check datasheet for details.

Error handling

• int lastError() returns the last error set. Note: will reset the error!

Error codes

define	value
MSP300_OK	0
MSP300_ERROR	100

Operation

The examples show the basic working of the functions.

Future

Must

• improve documentation
• get hardware
• test

Should

• add examples
• elaborate error handling.

Could

• test I2C performance.
• add setTemperatureOffset(float offset = 0)
• add setPressureOffset(float offset = 0)
• unit tests
• add simple class for the analog version
  • MSP300A
