This pressure sensor from Freescale is a great low-cost sensing solution for measuring barometric pressure. At 1.5 hPa resolution, it’s not as precise as our favorite pressure sensor, the BMx280 series, which has up to 0.03 hPa resolution (and works with WipperSnapper) so we don’t suggest it as a precision altimeter. However, it’s great for basic barometric pressure sensing.
With WipperSnapper, you can effortlessly connect various components and sensors to any of the 20+ supported development boards to build an internet-connected electronics project. The best part is that you can configure and control these sensors from the web using Adafruit IO, all without the need for programming.
