This module provides access to the BMP085 temperature and pressure sensor. The module also works with BMP180.

bmp085.init()

Initializes the module and sets the pin configuration.

Syntax

bmp085.init(sda, scl)

Parameters

• sda data pin
• scl clock pin

Returns

nil

bmp085.temperature()

Samples the sensor and returns the temperature in celsius as an integer multiplied with 10.

Syntax

bmp085.temperature()

Returns

temperature multiplied with 10 (integer)

Example

bmp085.init(1, 2)
local t = bmp085.temperature()
print(string.format("Temperature: %s.%s degrees C", t / 10, t % 10))

bmp085.pressure()

Samples the sensor and returns the pressure in pascal as an integer.

The optional oversampling_setting parameter determines for how long time the sensor samples data. The default is 3 which is the longest sampling setting. Possible values are 0, 1, 2, 3. See the data sheet for more information.

Syntax

bmp085.pressure(oversampling_setting)

Parameters

oversampling_setting integer that can be 0, 1, 2 or 3

Returns

pressure in pascals (integer)

Example

bmp085.init(1, 2)
local p = bmp085.pressure()
print(string.format("Pressure: %s.%s mbar", p / 100, p % 100))

bmp085.pressure_raw()

Samples the sensor and returns the raw pressure in internal units. Might be useful if you need higher precision.

Syntax

bmp085.pressure_raw(oversampling_setting)

Parameters

oversampling_setting integer that can be 0, 1, 2 or 3

Returns

raw pressure sampling value (integer)
