Arduino with Python LESSON 9: Measuring Pressure and Temperature with the BMP180 Sensor

[cbrombaugh]

Old lessons never die. I got a BMP280 and used the Adafruit BMP280 library from the Arduino libraries on my Nano Every, and BOOM IT WORKS! Now I hope I can get the Pascal part to work... I love your lessons, Paul!

i like the way mr. paul excitedly explained the lesson :)

I am doing this lesson in 2021 and no amount of effort got the Arduino IDE to compile using the Adafruit library. I went to Sparkfun and their library worked fine even though much more difficult to use. I was able to pull out values for temp and pressure which should work in the next lesson.

will it work on a different type of BMP Pressure sensor?

I am going to get this BMP 180 and try it. From the seller says it can do altitude measurements too. How is done or I have to do some mathematics ?

Hi Paul,

Newbie like me may expect a bit more in details about SCL and SDA (and the protocol used in this lesson i.e I2C) and the equivalent pin config on the Arduino board. I think, it would be helpful if you explain a bit more in details about the Wire.h header file and how Adafruit hooked them up even though we are not using Wire.h header directly (I do believe begin() is doing this).

On the other hand, what are contents available at Adafruit_BMP085.h header file to explain from where begin(), readTemperature() and readPressure() are coming/loading?

However, I am enjoying all the lessons available in your channel. Thank you very much sir and love your way of explanation.

paul how can i email you? I have some questions about this lesson.

[shubhanshupratapsingh]

sir i want to know which sensor should i use to measure tyre pressure in my gokart project?(i am using arduino uno r3)

[donskanone]

According to the datasheet the max. supply voltage is 3.3 V. But thanks for your great videos!!

Please make a video on radio communication between two arduinos 🙏.like nrf module.

I am trying to use BMP180 with LoRa for a project and it's working fine. But the deflection in altitude data is too high. Even in a position when the circuit is sitting on a table top. Seems very unstable, specially when the circuit is in use for more than one hour. The difference goes up to 30 feet!! .. And keeps going up and up... Unacceptable !! Have you ever tried it for more than one hour?? I am stuck with the project.

to My home barometer has a reading between 28 to 31 mmHg. Your device reading of 27+ mmHg is off the scale outside of a hurricane.

Great vedeo like it so much... well
i have MPU6050 gy-88 can you make us a vedeo about it !??

[jkagemann]

When trying to run this program, I get the errror "exit status 1 Error compiling for board Arduino Mega or Mega 2560". I ran the blink program to make sure there was not something else going on and it ran fine. Any suggestions?

[michaelcostello]

Finding it difficult to buy this sensor online as its now superseded. Obviously i want to use the exact sensor the lectures are based on as you have previously advised.

[JulianAvalos]

Good stuff Paul. I'm enjoying your presentation of the material.

[vnceigz]

The BME280 is currently the latest, best sensor for But be careful when buying from Chinese sellers on eBay, they are careless at best, and outright lie at worst, so you might get a BMP280 or BMP180 instead.

7:02 - It only enumerates the installed libraries once, during startup (I think the latest version is the same).

How to measure altitude using bmp 180?

[saraljain]

thank you sir. Your tutorials are really helpful to me.

[naveenjoshy]

are the adafruit modules compatible with all the bmp sensors??
