Altimeter Module MS5607
The Altimeter Module is a high resolution (20 cm) altimeter sensor with SPI and I2C bus interface. The module includes a high linearity barometric pressure sensor and a high resolution temperature output, allowing implementation of an altimeter/thermometer without any additional sensors.
Different operation modes allow the user to optimize for conversion speed or current consumption. The module is designed for use with a large variety of microcontrollers with different voltage requirements.
Features:
- High resolution 20 cm or altitude
- Thermometer of -40 to +85 °C with <.01 °C resolution
- Pressure range of 10–1200 mbar
- Supports I²C and SPI communications
- 24-bit pressure and temperature values
Application Ideas:
- Mobile altimeter / barometer systems
- Rate of climb and descent Indicator (RCDI)
- Height sensing
- Navigation
- Weather station
- Altitude hold for UAVs
- IMU builds
