Linkit One and BMP085 module example

The BMP085 offers a measuring range of 30 to 110 kPa with an absolute accuracy of down to 0.1 kPa. It uses piezo-resistive technology for robustness, 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 microcontroller via an I²C bus.

Features

  • Dimensions: 0.6″ × 0.6″ (15.24 × 15.24 mm)
  • 1.8 to 3.6 V supply voltage
  • 30 to 110 kPa pressure range
  • 1 Pa pressure resolution of output data
  • Digital two wire (I²C) interface
  • Factory-calibrated with calibration values stored in EEPROM
  • Temperature measurement included

This sensor has been discontinued but can still be found in breakout form so here is an example of connecting the breakout to a linkit one

Layout


Code

You will need to import the Adafruit BMP085 library into the Arduino IDE – https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-BMP085-Library

#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_BMP085.h>

Adafruit_BMP085 bmp;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
if (!bmp.begin())
{
Serial.println("Could not find a BMP085 sensor!");
while (1) {}
}
}

void loop()
{
Serial.print("Temperature = ");
Serial.print(bmp.readTemperature());
Serial.println(" *C");

Serial.print("Pressure = ");
Serial.print(bmp.readPressure());
Serial.println(" Pa");

Serial.print("Altitude = ");
Serial.print(bmp.readAltitude());
Serial.println(" meters");

Serial.print("Real altitude = ");
Serial.print(bmp.readAltitude(101500));
Serial.println(" meters");

Serial.println();
delay(500);
}
