// BMP085_test1
// by Filipe Vieira
// Simple test of BMP085 output using default settings.
// This example requires AUTO_UPDATE_TEMPERATURE to be true in bmp085.h otherwise temperature will not update.
// IMPORTANT!! To get correct values you MUST CHANGE init() parameters, in
// this example I've set 250m based on GPS data for my location.
#include <Wire.h>
#include <BMP085.h>
BMP085 dps = BMP085(); // Digital Pressure Sensor
long Temperature = 0, Pressure = 0, Altitude = 0;
void setup(void) {
Serial.begin(9600);
Wire.begin();
delay(1000);
// uncomment for different initialization settings
//dps.init(); // QFE (Field Elevation above ground level) is set to 0 meters.
// same as init(MODE_STANDARD, 0, true);
//dps.init(MODE_STANDARD, 101850, false); // 101850Pa = 1018.50hPa, false = using Pa units
// this initialization is useful for normalizing pressure to specific datum.
// OR setting current local hPa information from a weather station/local airport (QNH).
dps.init(MODE_ULTRA_HIGHRES, 25000, true); // 250 meters, true = using meter units
// this initialization is useful if current altitude is known,
// pressure will be calculated based on TruePressure and known altitude.
// note: use zeroCal only after initialization.
// dps.zeroCal(101800, 0); // set zero point
}
void loop(void) {
dps.getPressure(&Pressure);
dps.getAltitude(&Altitude);
Serial.print(" Alt(cm):");
Serial.print(Altitude);
Serial.print(" Pressure(Pa):");
Serial.println(Pressure);
