Stopped in a gas station today to pump up my tire. Mounted on the wall was a digital air fill with air hose.. You punched in the psi you wanted and when it hit that psi a buzzer would go off telling you it was done, to whatever preset psi you wanted. It had a digital display, thought it was cool.
Who makes these?

Thanks!...:beer:

Is it really that hard to pull a trigger, release trigger, pull trigger. Once you get used to it you can fill a tire based on sound.

Whatever happened to the old gas station ones with the dial you turned to the pressure you wanted and listened to the bells so you knew when it was done? Where did they all go? I want one...

I was going to make my own with a locking tire chuck, pressure gauge and a adjustable pressure regulator and bleed valve. I like the idea of setting a pressure, and automatically getting the same on all the tires.

Microcontrollers are getting so cheap it should be easy to make a digitally controlled compressor.

the digital ones have been at petrol stations in the UK for at least 10 years, the only issue is they are not as quick as the old style ones, they pulse the air to detect the pressure.

That would be quicker for me than a digital system. By the time I get everything punched in, I could have had all the tires filled and ready to go....
