HOW DOES IT WORK?

Barometer 13 Click is based on the BMP585, a barometric pressure sensor from Bosch Sensortec. It consists of a pressure-sensitive MEMS sensor element and an integrated circuit that drives and reads out the sensor element. The on-chip FIFO buffer can hold up to 32 pressure samples with an absolute pressure accuracy of ±30Pa. The sensor itself can work in normal, forced, and continuous modes, while in standby mode, no measurements are performed, and power consumption is at a minimum. There is also a deep standby mode with further reduced power consumption. The BMP585 has a built-in dedicated IIR filter that can reduce noise caused by ambient disturbances, such as an open window, door, and more.

Barometer 13 Click can use a standard 2-wire I2C interface to communicate with the host MCU, with a clock frequency of up to 1MHz. The I2C address can be selected over the ADDR SEL jumper. You can also use a standard 4-wire SPI interface for the same purpose, with a clock frequency of up to 12MHz. The selection can be made over the COMM SEL jumpers. The BMP585 provides an interrupt functionality, which allows it to signal certain events to the host processor over the INT pin.

This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
