Subject: O2 sensor build plan
So, I'm building an oxygen sensor per plans from Vance's Oxy Hacker
Companion.

Rather than having the O2 sensor at the end of a jacked cable though,
I'm thinking about hardwiring it INSIDE the aluminum case I'm using. 
Then I'll put a male QD hose fitting through the case bulkhead, with a
flow restrictor, and a vent at the opposite end of the case.  

In theory, when you connect to a reg lp hose, the test gas will flood
the inside of the case and expose to the sensor, while the vent will
prevent atmosphere from going above ambient.

Anyone out there think this is not a good idea?  I kind of like having
the whole thing in one box and not having to rig up some rinky dink
method to encapsulate the sensor when testing the gas.  Thanks.

Cam
