BMP180 Digital Barometric Pressure Sensor Module

BMP180 Digital Barometric Sensor Module compatible with Arduino will measure the absolute pressure of the environment using a digital barometer. This sensor module utilizes the advanced Bosch BMP180 sensor, synonymous with high accuracy and stability in pressure and temperature measurements. As an exceptional barometric pressure sensor, it's ideal for various applications such as weather monitoring and altimetry. By converting measured pressure into altitude, the BMP180 can determine the height of your robot, plane, or projectile with an impressive accuracy of 1m and a noise level of only 17cm in ultra-high resolution. Consuming only 0.3uA, this bmp180 barometric pressure sensor module is perfect for battery-powered applications. The bmp180 sensor comes fully calibrated and ready to use and operates over an I2C interface. Optional I2C pull-ups can be enabled using the PU (pull-up) jumper on the board for easy breadboarding. With this barometer bmp180, pressure and temperature are provided as 16-bit values, used for temperature-compensated altitude calculations.
