How to stabilize barometric sensor (BMP085) connected to Arduino?
Good afternoon.
The BMP085 sensor is a good thing, I wanted to use it as a variometer, but the pressure readings of the sensor constantly jump, even when it lies on the table, in fact, based on this, the height also jumps by 2-3 meters.
Used the Adafruit_BMP085 library. And their example:
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_BMP085.h>
/***************************************************
This is an example for the BMP085 Barometric Pressure & Temp Sensor
Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit BMP085 Breakout
----> https://www.adafruit.com/products/391
These displays use I2C to communicate, 2 pins are required to
interface

// Connect VCC of the BMP085 sensor to 3.3V (NOT 5.0V!)
// Connect GND to Ground
// Connect SCL to i2c clock - on '168/'328 Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/etc thats Analog 5
// Connect SDA to i2c data - on '168/'328 Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/etc thats Analog 4
// EOC is not used, it signifies an end of conversion
// XCLR is a reset pin, also not used here
Adafruit_BMP085 bmp;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
if (!bmp.begin()) {
Serial.println("Could not find a valid BMP085 sensor, check wiring!");
while (1) {}
}
}
void loop() {
Serial.print("Temperature = ");
Serial.print(bmp.readTemperature());
Serial.println(" *C");
Serial.print("Pressure = ");
Serial.print(bmp.readPressure());
Serial.println(" Pa");
// Calculate altitude assuming 'standard' barometric
// pressure of 1013.25 millibar = 101325 Pascal
Serial.print("Altitude = ");
Serial.print(bmp.readAltitude());
Serial.println(" meters");
// you can get a more precise measurement of altitude
// if you know the current sea level pressure which will
// vary with weather and such. If it is 1015 millibars
// that is equal to 101500 Pascals.
Serial.print("Real altitude = ");
Serial.print(bmp.readAltitude(101500));
Serial.println(" meters");
Serial.println();
delay(500);
}
