Barometric pressure and temperature sensor
BMP280 Barometric Pressure and Temperature Sensor breakout board.
The red PCB features the Chinese text "大气压模块," which translates directly to "Atmospheric Pressure Module." This is a popular, high-precision sensor used for measuring altitude, weather patterns, and ambient temperature.
Pinout Breakdown
The board uses an I2C interface for communication. Here is what the labels on the back represent:
• VCC: Power supply (typically 1.8V to 3.6V; check if your board has a voltage regulator if you plan to use 5V).
• GND: Ground.
• SCL: I2C Clock line.
• SDA: I2C Data line.
• INT1 / INT2: Interrupt pins (often left unused for basic projects).
Key Technical Specs
• Pressure Range: 300 to 1100 hPa (equivalent to +9000m to -500m above/below sea level).
• Temperature Range: -40 to +85
