Hi,

first of all i would like to thank once again for your efforts on providing support for the arduino 2560.

Yesterday, i was thinking that it would be neat to have mpguino reading data from sensors that are already available in my car, like oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, outside air temp, ...

I saw that this is not a strange topic for you and that you intend to do it sometime.

well i would like to play a bit with arduino and try to do this.

Since i'm not so good at electronics, and since mpguino already reads vss, i will take that things you be kind of similar for the rest?!, so maybe you could shed some light and tell me why do wee need to connect a 50k resistor to the vss followed by the 5.1V zener diode....

Thanks,
Tiago
