Gorillacell Module 049: Pressure Sensor

Table of Contents

Pressure Sensor is an input device used for measuring barometric pressure — the pressure exerted by the atmosphere. It is commonly used in applications such as altitude measurement, weather monitoring, and environmental sensing.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with a Pressure Sensor module powered by the BMP280 driver IC. The BMP280 provides high-precision barometric pressure and temperature readings through a digital I²C or SPI interface, making it ideal for compact and low-power sensing applications.

BASIC INFORMATION

Device Category Interface Chipset Description
Input Sensor Cell Serial I2C BMP280 I2C = 0x76

PINOUT

It has 4 pins which are

  1. GND - for the ground pin,
  2. VCC - for the supply voltage,
  3. SDA – for the I2C serial data pin, and
  4. SCL – for the I2C serial clock pin.

The Pressure Sensor module with BMP280 driver chip can be access through I2C address 0x76.
