Abstract

The paper considers a barometric altimeter based on a microelectromechanical sensor. An algorithm for obtaining height using the BMP180 sensor is presented, which can be used in various fields of technology and industry. The work also used a variety of parts that ensured the quality and accuracy of the altimeter. A program code for calculating the height has been developed. An experimental study of the operation of the apparatus was carried out.
