Good but needs 3.3V logic
Sensor works well, but make sure your microcontroller supports I2C properly. Had to check wiring twice.

Perfect for Weather Station
Worked flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. Readings are stable and match my local weather station.

Low power consumption
Exactly what I needed for a battery-powered logger. Sleep mode works as expected.
Q: What is the I2C address?
A: The default I2C address is 0x77.
Q: Can I connect this directly to a 5V Arduino?
A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator, but logic level shifting is recommended for SDA/SCL lines.
Q: Is this sensor waterproof?
A: No, the chip is exposed. Please house it in a waterproof enclosure with a vent for pressure equalization.
Q: Which library should I use?
A: The Adafruit BMP085 Library is fully compatible with the BMP180 chip.
Q: Can it measure altitude accurately?
A: It provides relative altitude based on pressure. Calibration with local sea level pressure improves accuracy.
