Description of 🌡️ Adafruit Precision Barometric Pressure Altitude: Accurate Altitude Tracking & Weather Monitoring Device

perfect for measuring altitude changes with a up to ±0.002 hPa (or ±0.02 m) precision high precision mode and ± 1 hPa absolute accuracy. a great sensor for use in drones or other altitude-sensitive robots. use it with 3.3V (Feather/Raspberry Pi) or 5V (Arduino/ Metro328) logic levels. since it speaks I2C you can easily connect it up with two wires (plus power and ground!).

Perfect little sensor, high accuracy

I really like this little sensor, it's quite small and very easy to connect to many compatible boards via Stemma QT/Qwiic (I have it on FeatherS2 Neo). I'm using it with CircuitPython, using the Adafruit library (search for Adafruit_CircuitPython_DPS310). Nothing could be simpler: sensor = DPS310(i2c)print("Temperature = %.2f *C" % sensor.temperature)print("Pressure = %.2f hPa" % sensor.pressure) Temperature accuracy is ±0.5°C, which is really good for my use case.

Pros
  • Check, measure and test
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Pros
  • Probes and pressure sensors
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
