Driving an automotive fuel gauge
hey everybody
i'm having trouble hooking fuel gauge arduino. in normal situation sender variable resistor. gauge have programmable , uses stepper motor move needle. has range of 0 - 270 ohms. full , empty can @ either end , gauge compute proper level , display it.
what i'm having issues making arduino output linear resistance gauge can use. i've done bunch of research , can't quite find works properly. things i've tried work nice near 1 end of scale, jump on other end.
i'm not sure how many steps gauge has, i'd have many possible have smooth of sweep possible.
thanks
eric

have try digital potentiometer

0-275 seems standard.
