Adafruit BMP085 Barometric Pressure/Temperature/Altitude Sensor- 5V ready

This precision sensor from Bosch is a cost-effective solution for measuring barometric pressure and temperature. Its ability to detect pressure changes allows it to function as an altimeter, making it versatile for various applications.

Equipped with a 3.3V regulator, I2C level shifter, and pull-up resistors on the I2C pins, the sensor is soldered onto a PCB, ensuring seamless integration. The newest version is fully 5V compliant, including a 3.3V regulator and I2C level shifter, ensuring safe use with 5V logic and power.

Using the sensor is straightforward. Connect the VIN pin to the 5V voltage pin, GND to ground, SCL to I2C Clock (Analog 5), and SDA to I2C Data (Analog 4) when working with an Arduino. Download the BMP085 Arduino library and example code for temperature, pressure, and altitude calculations. By installing the library and loading the sketch, users can instantly access precise data.

To further understand the sensor, a detailed tutorial explains altitude calculations based on sea-level barometric pressure, enriching the user's knowledge and application skills.
