5-1Q: Yes, if you refer to the analog input portion hardware: You can see the input voltage is divided by 200K and 82K resistors, roughly is 10V full scale. If your sensor output is within that range, you can measure its output level to determine which A/D steps will be used to control the BRE(Boolean Run Engine). Most pressure sensor output is 0-5VDC. If you like to be able to get a whole number in the reading, you may want to change the R26/28/30 to a smaller resistor in series with a trimmer to calibrate the A/D steps with the reading from the analog port.
