Default Oil Pressure Sensor Volt vs Oil Pressure Formula

Trying to use the stock LSX oil pressure sendor to drive a LCD oil pressure gauge. Could someone confirm that the formula below is what is used to log the oil pressure using the LSX sensor. (I believe the same sensor is used in both ls1 and LS truck engines)

Formula:
PS1=32*V-16 (where V ranges between 0-5V)

thanks

volts / (voltage range/Device range) + (Minimum value of device range)=PSI

are setting this up in HPTuners ?

and this is applicable to all LSX oil pressure sensors right? (both truck and car lsx engines)?

No I am using an Arduino and writing my own code. the oil pressure will be displayed on an LCD screen that ill place on the dash.

No space for the regular 2 1/16 gauges.
