BMP280 Pressure and Temperature Sensor Module (Barometer)

BMP280 Digital Barometric Pressure & Temperature Sensor Module

The BMP280 Sensor Module by Bosch Sensortec is a compact, high-precision, and ultra-low-power digital sensor designed for accurate measurement of atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. As the next-generation upgrade to the BMP180, it delivers improved accuracy, lower noise, faster response time, and a significantly smaller footprint.

Based on proven piezo-resistive pressure sensing technology, the BMP280 provides excellent absolute and relative pressure measurements. Since air pressure directly correlates with altitude, the sensor functions as a highly accurate digital altimeter, making it ideal for applications such as indoor floor detection, GPS enhancement, and vertical navigation. The onboard breakout circuitry allows seamless interfacing with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers via selectable I²C or SPI digital interfaces.

🔧 Key Features

• High Measurement Accuracy: Pressure accuracy of ±1 hPa and temperature accuracy of ±1.0 °C.
• Altitude Sensing: Provides ±1 meter relative altitude accuracy with a noise level as low as 0.25 m.
• Wide Pressure Range: Operates from 300 hPa to 1100 hPa, equivalent to altitudes from +9000 m to −500 m.
• Dual Digital Interfaces: Supports both I²C (up to 3.4 MHz) and SPI (up to 10 MHz) communication.
• Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Typical current draw of only 2.7 µA at 1 Hz, ideal for battery-powered devices.
• Fully Calibrated Output: Factory-calibrated digital output simplifies integration and software development.

💡 Applications

• Weather Stations and environmental monitoring systems
• Drones and UAVs for altitude and vertical speed measurement
• Indoor Navigation and floor-level detection in smart buildings
• GPS Enhancement for improved positioning accuracy
• Wearable and IoT Devices requiring low power consumption
