BMP180

Description

• Barometric Pressure Measurement:

  The BMP180 measures the absolute pressure of the surrounding air, which varies with both weather and altitude. 
• Temperature Compensation:

  The integrated temperature sensor allows for temperature compensation of pressure readings, ensuring more accurate measurements, especially when altitude is being calculated. 
• Altitude Measurement:

  By measuring pressure and knowing the baseline pressure at sea level, the BMP180 can be used to estimate altitude. 
• I2C Interface:

  The sensor communicates with microcontrollers using the I2C protocol, making it easy to integrate into various projects. 
• Low Power Consumption:

  The BMP180 is designed for low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered devices. 
• Calibration Data:

  The sensor includes calibration data stored in EEPROM to compensate for offset, temperature dependence, and other sensor parameters.
