    CTIS and Arduino

    Hello all. Sorry for the late answer, but due heavy work I did not found the time to answer. After 2000 miles I must admit that the Arduino and CTIS do a great job. It works like a sharm, every 15 minutes checks the pressure and adjust it. No problems after all. More problems with broken...
