BMP 180 Module

Introduction

BMP180 module can measure the barometric pressure and temperature, barometric pressure changes with the altitude, it can also measure the altitude! BMP180 is the next generation of Bosch. Though BMP085 and BMP180 have the same interface in firmware and the code is in common, BMP180 module is the lowest-cost sensor in measuring the barometric pressure, temperature and altitude.


 

Technical Data

Voltage: 3v to 5.5v

Current: 1.1vA to 20vA

Pressure range: 300 to 1100hpa

 

Features

Pressure sensing range: 300-1100 hPa (-500m to 9000m above sea level);

Up to 0.03hPa / 0.25m resolution;

Temperature range: -40 to +85°C

Temperature accuracy: ±2°C

Low power: 5μA in standard mode

Accuracy: resolution is 0.06hpa(0.5m) in low power mode

         Resolution is 0.03hpa(0.25m) in high linear mode


 

Usage

[code]

//Arduino 1.0+ Only

//Arduino 1.0+ Only

 

/*Based largely on code by  Jim Lindblom

 

 Get pressure, altitude, and temperature from the BMP085.

 Serial.print it out at 9600 baud to serial monitor.
