Review on Adafruit BMP388 Precision Barometric Altimeter by Antonio Bacon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast delivery! Best aircraft accessories

I just wanted it, I wanted it, and it came faster than promised in the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle. Thanks very much! I have been working with a Bosch BME280 which has a built in barometer. The application is a hand control that can determine its altitude. With +/- 1 meter, the BME280 did not have a sufficiently high resolution and also a large discrepancy in the measured values. BMP388 has +/- 0.5 meters and I hope it will be accurate and stable enough for the application. Adafruit always has great boards, software libraries, and tutorials available for the BME280 and BMP388. If the BMP388 works, I'll buy a second one to stand still and use as a reference for room pressure changes due to weather or heating/cooling fans.

Pros
  • Noble design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
