They can sense a air pressure difference of 50mm/2 inches!!! These were energy efficient for use with battery powered systems of course. Chris I remember being told that the sensors used in the LXNAV equipment measure 1cm or altitude 100 time per second. Richard www.craggyaero.com When I was testing an Air-Glide S on the bench, discovered it takes very little disturbance of the ISU to get readings. Jim |

They can sense a air pressure difference of 50mm/2 inches!!! Sure. I've used a couple of these in little projects. Dead easy to hook up to any Arduino, Raspberry Pi etc. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11824 Relative accuracy of 0.02 hPa means about 15 cm at sea level I think. There are better ones available but this chip sells for 3.73 Euro for one, or 2.25 Euro if you buy 1000 of them http://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/B...sortec/BMP180/ The Sparkfun board is more because ... it not just the chip, it's the chip on a board, easy to use for amateurs or for prototyping. |
