Algorithm for pressure and temperature measurement

I believe you have a certain understanding about the I2C on RPi. Here We continue to control BMP180 via I2C. First the program reads calibration data (such as AC1, AC2, AC3, AC4, AC5, AC6, B1, B2, MB, MC and MD) from the EEPROM of the BMP180. Then reads uncompensated temperature value and pressure value and calculates the true value with the calibration data.

There are many libraries for Raspberry Pi I2C programming. We recommend BCM2835, WiringPi and smbus Python.

BMP180 Example

These examples require a certain library, see: Libraries Installation for RPi

in Python (import smbus)

Before using this program, you should install the smbus library for Python. Get it by apt-get command:

sudo apt-get install python-smbus

Save the following program and run with:

sudo python BMP180_example.py
This is a BMP180 driver written in Python.
