The BMP180 is a high-precision, low-power barometric pressure sensor. The BMP180 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. It is designed to be connected directly to a micro-controller via the I2C bus.

Code Example

Bmp180 sensor;

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

sensor = new Bmp180(Device.CreateI2cBus());

var consumer = Bmp180.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 is { } old)
{
return (
(result.New.Temperature.Value - old.Temperature.Value).Abs().Celsius > 0.5);
}
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()
{
var conditions = await sensor.Read();
Resolver.Log.Info($"Temperature: {conditions.Temperature?.Celsius}°C, Pressure: {conditions.Pressure?.Pascal}Pa");

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