Once you have worked out the path to the value you want then if you read the help text for the gauge node you will see that you can tell it where to get the value from. So in the Value Format field you should be able to put something like  
`{{msg.payload.pesoreal}}`

**[Edit]** Added the `{{ }}` around the above as I had missed them off originally.
