BMP280 Sensor Module Working and Arduino Interfacing Guide In many of our previous articles, we have used many different types of temperature and humidity sensors like DHT22, DHT11, DS18b20, and LM35 to measure environmental parameters. In every one of those articles, the one thing in common is that none of those sensors measure barometric pressure. So in today's article, we wanted to interface the BMP280 with an Arduino and measure… |
