Motorola makes a pressure transducer (MPX 100) for automotive fuel injection
systems that reads over the range 0 to 15 psi.
The "Electronics & Wireless World" May 1985 issue has an article on how
to build an electronic altimeter that may be used as a barometer.
The June 1986 issue of E&WW adds a digital readout.
E&WW is a British magazine that currently sells at a San Francisco
bookstore for $6.50 a copy.
The articles say the MPX 100 sells for &11.50. I don't know a US
distributor or the price in $$.
