Bosch leads with the new Adafruit BMP388 Precision Barometric Pressure Sensor, advancing from BMP280's legacy. Experience unparalleled precision for environmental sensing or use it as a precision altimeter. Dual configuration options are available in I2C and SPI, making it adaptable to various projects.
With an altitude noise as low as 0.1m and a fast conversion time, this sensor excels in stability and accuracy. Relative accuracy is impressive at 8 Pascals, translating to ±0.5 meters of altitude, superior to its predecessor BMP280.
The sensor is ideal for drones, quadcopters, wearables, or any applications requiring height tracking. Note the need for manual input of sea-level pressure for absolute height accuracy, a standard among altimeters. It also measures temperature with ±0.5°C accuracy.
The soldered surface-mount sensor is mounted on a PCB with a 3.3V regulator and level shifting for compatibility with 3V or 5V logic microcontrollers. Utilize the Arduino library to access data quickly, and benefit from Stemma QT connectors for solder-free integration with standard QT cables, sold separately.
