You can just buy the sensor from apogee and hook it up to any multi meter and multiply the reading by 5.

Don't use a cheap meter if you opt for hooking a sensor to your own. It's using Millivolts as the standard and a cheap meter isn't going to be very accurate are reading thousandths of volts.

If you've been in this hobby for any time at all you will learn one very important lesson: there is no cheap way out for anything!
