Sensor Evaluation Kit, SEK001, for Use with 

TruStability™ RSC Series and Digital Output

1.0  OVERVIEW

The Sensor Evaluation Kit, SEK001, along with the readily-
available components shown in Table 1, and the free evaluation 
software available on Honeywell’s website, comprise a simple 
set of components used to evaluate Honeywell TruStability 
RSC Series and the digital output versions (SPI or I

2

C) of the 

TruStability HSC Series and SSC Series Board Mount Pressure 
Sensors. 

The SEK001 allows the user to obtain sensor readings without 
needing to develop any code. The sensor to be evaluated 
is mounted into the receiving sockets on the SEK001. The 
SEK001 is then plugged in as a shield board to the Arduino™ 
Uno Rev3 Microcontroller Board. Honeywell evaluation 

software, downloaded to the user’s PC, controls the Arduino 
Uno Rev3 to take sensor readings that are then displayed on 
the PC’s screen.

The readings may also be recorded to a .csv file for further 
analysis, and, in the case of the RSC Series, used in the 
equations found in the RSC Series datasheet. 

In addition to being mounted directly on the SEK001, the 
sensor may also be remotely connected to the SEK001 via wire 
leads, allowing the sensor to be tested in adverse environments, 
or in a prototype product for proof of concept testing.
