The BMP180 is a high-precision, low-power barometric pressure sensor. The BMP180 offers a measuring range of 300 to 1100 hPa with an absolute accuracy of down to 0.03 hPa. It's based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as well as long term stability. It is designed to be connected directly to a micro-controller via the I2C bus.
Code Example
Bmp180 sensor;
public override Task Initialize()
{
Console.WriteLine("Initializing...");
sensor = new Bmp180(Device.CreateI2cBus());
var consumer = Bmp180.CreateObserver(
handler: result =>
{
Console.WriteLine($"Observer: Temp changed by threshold; new temp: {result.New.Temperature?.Celsius:N2}C, old: {result.Old?.Temperature?.Celsius:N2}C");
},
filter: result =>
{
//c# 8 pattern match syntax. checks for !null and assigns var.
if (result.Old is { } old)
{
return (
(result.New.Temperature.Value - old.Temperature.Value).Abs().Celsius > 0.5);
}
return false;
}
);
sensor.Subscribe(consumer);
sensor.Updated += (sender, result) =>
{
Console.WriteLine($" Temperature: {result.New.Temperature?.Celsius:N2}C");
Console.WriteLine($" Pressure: {result.New.Pressure?.Bar:N2}bar");
};
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
public override async Task Run()
{
var conditions = await sensor.Read();
Console.WriteLine($"Temperature: {conditions.Temperature?.Celsius}°C, Pressure: {conditions.Pressure?.Pascal}Pa");
sensor.StartUpdating(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
}

Wiring Example
To wire a BMP180 to your Meadow board, connect the following:
| BMP180 | Meadow Pin |
|---|---|
| GND | GND |
| SCL | D08 (SCL) |
| SDA | D07 (SDA) |
| VCC | 3V3 |
It should look like the following diagram:
