## Description

**Barometric Pressure Unit** is a barometer unit, which integrates the Bosch BMP280 pressure sensor to measure atmospheric pressure and estimate the altitude. The relative accuracy can reach ± 0.12hpa, equivalent to ± 1m height difference. At the same time, the temperature drift coefficient is very low, which can reach 1.5 PA / K, that is, the temperature drift is 12.6 cm / K. in addition, there is an integrated temperature sensor in the chip.

## Product Features

- Air pressure sensor, with temperature sensor on chip, can be measure simultaneously
- The accuracy is ± 0.12hpa
- Temperature drift coefficiency 1.5pa/k
- Supports periodic measurement
- Integrated 5-segment filter
- Support low power consumption
- Development platform: Arduino, UIFlow (Blockly, Python)
- 2x LEGO™ compatible holes

## Include

- 1x Barometric Pressure Unit
- 1x Grove Cable (5cm)

## Application

- height detector
- Weather station
