Arduino_BMP180_barometric_pressure

BMP180 barometric pressure sensor tested with Arduino.
This is a sensor for air pressure and temperature. Do not connect +5V to +/VDD  of this sensor!
Sensor will be damaged!

Hardware connections

• Vin     +3v3
• GND GND
• SCL  SCL
• SDA  SDA

/* BMP180 Absolute Pressure
Mike Grusin, SparkFun Electronics

This sketch shows how to get an absolute pressure reading from the BMP180
barometric pressure sensor. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11824

Hardware connections:

-/GND to GND
+/VDD to 3.3V

(WARNING: do not connect +/VDD to 5V or the sensor will be damaged!)

You will also need to connect the I2C pins (SCL and SDA) to your
Arduino. The pins are different on different Arduinos:

Any Arduino pins labeled:  SDA  SCL
Uno, Redboard, Pro:        A4   A5
Mega2560, Due:             20   21
Leonardo:                   2    3

Leave the IO (VDDIO) pin unconnected. This pin is for connecting
the BMP180 to systems with lower logic levels such as 1.8V

// Include the needed libraries. The SFE_BMP180 library will need to be
// added to your arduino/libraries folder

#include <SFE_BMP180.h>
#include <Wire.h>

Remark

The barometric pressure sensor is an I2C device found at address 0x77
(You can check this using an I2C scan program https://codebender.cc/sketch:358105
