Im using a px26 001GV differential pressure sensor for a project with arduino, here is the data sheet. (https://www.omega.com/manuals/manualpdf/M1608.pdf) Now, I have few questions regarding this.
1) I'm using this around a valve to know the differential pressure, lets say side A and side B Now if side A>B i get a positive voltage in milli volts, what if side B>A would it give a negative voltage? so would I get a range of voltages for its full functionality from negative to positive like say -8mv to +8mv?
2)I'm using an op amp to amplify the reading so I could amplify 8.6mv to 1.8V and then the opamp saturates, is there any way around this?
3) the opamp AD620AN which is a instrumental amp to be precise , needs voltage ranges -5 t0 +5 so i used a 10 volts dc, made a voltage divider, created a virtual ground. So what if I connect this system to arduino (0to5V range) would the divider cut off the system to (-2.5 to +2.5)?If so, should I check my circuit by using a 5V Dc and using the divider and check how the opamp responds?
PS: I'm new to this , please try to avoid all the electrical lingo, I wouldn't understand it. Thank you for your effort!
