https://www.electronics-lab.com/pressure-sensors-need-little-0-9-v/
Susan Nordyk@ edn.com: These micropower low-pressure sensors operate from a supply voltage of just 0.9 V to 1.8 V and are intended for use with noncorrosive, nonionic working fluids in such applications as medical devices and instrumentation, environmental controls, HVAC equipment, and portable devices. Pressure sensors need as little as 0.9 V – [Link]

AughtNaughtZero @ instructables.com posted his latest project, a LED matrix visualizing data from a weather website such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed etc. This project utilizes a 6 x 16 matrix of RGB LEDs to visualize a weather forecast pulled from the Weather Underground API. A Raspberry Pi runs a python program designed to fetch […]
Using BMP180 for temperature, pressure and altitude measurements
https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-bmp180-temperature-pressure-altitude-measurements/
Raj from Embedded Lab has posted a comprehensive tutorial on how to use BMP180 for temperature, pressure, and altitude measurements. The BMP180 is a new generation digital barometric pressure and temperature sensor from Bosch Sensortec. In this tutorial, we will briefly review this device and describe how to interface it with an Arduino Uno board […]
SDP3x – world’s smallest differential pressure sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sdp3x-worlds-smallest-differential-pressure-sensor/
The SDP3x is the world’s smallest differential pressure sensor. It measures just 5 mm x 8 mm x 5 mm, enabling it to be integrated in a range of portable devices. Measurement range is ±500Pa (±2 in. H2O) and has excellent accuracy and repeatability even below 1Pa. It is calibrated and temperature compensated on the […]

by Matej Blagšič @ instructables.com: Recently I attended a course in our University of Electrical Engineering and we were making ourselves a small weather station. It included learning about soldering, sensors and arduino. It was super fun making it with little kids and other high school kids my age. I will show you how you can […]
Arduino Watch With Altitude, Temperature, Compass And Pedometer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-watch-with-altitude-temperature-compass-and-pedometer/
by benhur.goncalves @ instructables.com: Hi folks! Last few days I’ve been obsessed with the idea to make my own watch from arduino parts, but something cool I could use and say I did it myself. So I found out there was a sensor board (commonly named GY-87) which had three sensors on it: HMC5883L (compass), BMP085 […]
