BMP085 Barometric Pressure Sensor module

Description: This is a simple breakout board for the BMP085 high-precision, low-power barometric pressure sensor. The BMP085 offers a measuring range of 300 to 1100 hPa with an absolute accuracy of down to 0.03 hPa. It's based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as well as long term stability. This sensor supports a voltage supply between 1.8 and 3.6VDC. It is designed to be connected directly to a micro-controller via the I²C bus

This breadboard-friendly board breaks out all pins of the BMP085 to a 6-pin 0.1" pitch header. The analog and digital supplies (VDDD and VDDA) of the BMP085 are tied together and broken out to a single pin. We've also put two 4.7k pull-up resistors on the I²C lines.

Features:

• Digital two wire (I²C) interface
• Wide barometric pressure range
• Flexible supply voltage range
• Ultra-low power consumption
• Low noise measurement
• Fully calibrated
• Temperature measurement included
• Ultra-flat, small footprint

Dimensions:

• 0.65 x 0.65" (16.5 x 16.5 mm)

Hooking it Up:

Here is the guide illustrates how to connect an Arduino to the ADXL345 breakout board. The following is a table describing which pins on the Arduino should be connected to the pins on the accelerometer:

Test Code:
