Barometric Pressure Sensor Module BMP180

Measuring the absolute pressure of the enviroment 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 accurary of 1m, with noise of only 17cm in ultra high resolution noise. The device will operate at 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 breadboarding.

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.

Our team of engineers, consultants and specialists have years of combined experience within the world of mechanics, robotics, electronics and programming, which allows us to build specialised products targeted at catering to the real needs of our consumers.

We understand that a good product is not only focused on quality, but also on affordability and accessibility, which is why we manufacture our own in-house products that aim to meet the ever-expanding needs of our customers. One such example is the Prusa i3 3D Printer, which we have improved upon numerous times with specialised extruder designs, laser-cut enclosures and even accessories like spool holders – To provide customers with the type of consistent quality that we would like to experience from every brand, both local and international.

Our in-house products also come with the added benefit of ultimate customer support, because nobody knows our products like we do, allowing us to offer the very best in terms of customer support for building, maintaining, repairing or simply enjoying our range of DIYElectronics in-house products.
