Barometric Pressure & Temperature Sensor module

Barometric Pressure & Temperature Sensor module is an intelligent sensor-based system capable of measuring HP03 amount of air pressure and temperature around the sensor. This module outputs a digital data that have been calibrated so that it can directly be used without too much additional computation.
Example applications include modules for measurement and control system of air pressure, the system barometer / altimeter, products, weather forecasts, or other applications which uses air pressure information and temperature.

Dimensions: 5.3 cm x 5.3 cm x 2.1 cm

Specifications:

- Requires power supply from 4.5 to 5.5 volts DC.
- Range of measurement of air pressure is 300 hpa to 1100 hpa hpa-resolution 0.1 (hectopascal). 1 hectopascal = 1 millibar.
- Accuracy pressure measurement is ± 1.5 hpa.
- Range of measurement of air temperature is -20 º C to 60 º C with a resolution of 0.1 º C.
- Accuracy of temperature measurement is ± 0.8 º C.
- Line input / output voltage levels are compatible with TTL or CMOS.
- Having 2 options TTL UART interface ie (38,400 bps) and I ² C (max bit rate 100 kHz).
