The BMP085 is a high-precision, low-power barometric pressure sensor. The BMP085 offers a measuring range of 300 to 1100 hPa with an absolute accuracy of down to 0.03 hPa. It's based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as well as long term stability. This sensor supports a voltage supply between 1.8 and 3.6VDC. It is designed to be connected directly to a micro-controller via the I2C bus.

Code Example

Bmp085? sensor;

public override Task Initialize()
{
    Resolver.Log.Info("Initializing...");

    sensor = new Bmp085(Device.CreateI2cBus());

    var consumer = Bmp085.CreateObserver(
        handler: result =>
        {
            Resolver.Log.Info($"Observer: Temp changed by threshold; new temp: {result.New.Temperature?.Celsius:N2}C, old: {result.Old?.Temperature?.Celsius:N2}C");
        },
        filter: result =>
        {
            if (result.Old?.Temperature is { } oldTemp &&
                result.New.Temperature is { } newTemp)
            {
                return (newTemp - oldTemp).Abs().Celsius > 0.5; // returns true if > 0.5°C change.
            }
            return false;
        }
    );
    sensor.Subscribe(consumer);

    sensor.Updated += (sender, result) =>
    {
        Resolver.Log.Info($"  Temperature: {result.New.Temperature?.Celsius:N2}C");
        Resolver.Log.Info($"  Pressure: {result.New.Pressure?.Bar:N2}bar");
    };

    return Task.CompletedTask;
}

public override async Task Run()
{
    if (sensor == null) { return; }

    var conditions = await sensor.Read();
    Resolver.Log.Info($"Temperature: {conditions.Temperature?.Celsius}°C, Pressure: {conditions.Pressure?.Pascal}Pa");

    sensor.StartUpdating(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
}

Wiring Example

To wire a BMP085 to your Meadow board, connect the following:

BMP085	Meadow Pin
GND	GND
SCL	D08 (SCL)
SDA	D07 (SDA)
VCC	3V3

It should look like the following diagram:
