Lesson 96: Barometric Pressure, Temperature, Approximate Altitude Sensor BMP390 with LCD

Please select other codes for this lecture from the links below.

Part 6: Temperatures Sensors

In this lesson BMP390 is explained, wiring shown for I2C and SPI. Then shown to display barometric pressure, temperature and approximate altitude on the serial monitor, on LCD1602, on LCD2004. Full wiring diagram and wiring shown. Library installation shown and approximate altitude is measurged on first floor and compared it with altitude on 25th floor. Code is fully explained and demonstrated using Arduino UNO and Arduino MEGA.

This code is to use BMP390 as Thermostat to contorl heater or cooler.

  This is a library for the BMP390 temperature & pressure sensor

  Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit BMP388 Breakout
  ----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/3966

  These sensors use I2C or SPI to communicate, 2 or 4 pins are required
  to interface.
