The Pololu LPS331AP Pressure/Altitude Sensor Carrier with Voltage Regulator is a compact and efficient device designed to measure pressures ranging from 260 mbar to 1260 mbar (26 kPa to 126 kPa). It boasts an absolute pressure accuracy over temperature down to ±2 mbar (0.2 kPa) and a typical RMS noise of 0.02 mbar (0.002 kPa) in high-resolution mode. This versatile carrier can convert these pressure readings into altitudes, providing a wide range of data for various applications.
The Pololu LPS331AP is equipped with a 3.3 V linear regulator and integrated level shifters, allowing it to operate over an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. This makes it a flexible choice for various power sources. The 2.54mm pin spacing is compatible with standard solderless breadboards and 2.54mm perfboards, making it easy to incorporate into any project.
One of the key features of the Pololu LPS331AP is its dual interface. The sensor offers both I²C and SPI interfaces, making it adaptable to different communication protocols. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, from weather stations to altitude monitoring in drones.
The Pololu LPS331AP Pressure/Altitude Sensor Carrier with Voltage Regulator is not just a device, it's a tool that offers precision, versatility, and adaptability. Whether you're a hobbyist looking for an accurate barometer for your next project, or a professional in need of reliable altitude readings, the Pololu LPS331AP is a solid choice that delivers reliable results.
