BMP180 Barometric Pressure and Altitude Sensor

BMP180 Digital Barometric Sensor Module compatible with Arduino will Measure the absolute pressure of the environment using a digital barometer such as this has some interesting applications.

By converting the pressure measured into altitude, you have a reliable sensor for determining the height of your robot, plane or projectile! Using a sensor as capable as the BMP180 you can achieve an accuracy of 1m, with the noise of only 17cm in ultra-high resolution noise.

The device will operate at the only 0.3uA meaning low current draw for battery-powered applications. The BMP180 comes fully calibrated and ready to use. As the device operates over I2C we’ve added optional I2C pull-ups that can be enabled using the PU (pull up) jumper on the board for your convenience and ease during bread-boarding.

Using I2C, the device provides pressure and temperature as 16bit values, which are used along with calibration data within the device are used to provide a temperature compensated altitude calculation.

Features:

•     1.8V to 3.6V Supply Voltage.
•     I2C interface.
•     Fully calibrated.
•     Very low noise – up to 0.02hPa (17cm)
•     Small and easy to use.
  

Package Includes:

•     1 x BMP180 Barometric Pressure and Altitude Sensor Module
