Grove - Barometer Sensor

The Grove Barometer Sensor is a highly accurate environmental module based on the Bosch BMP280 chip. It measures both atmospheric pressure and temperature, and can even be used to estimate altitude. This compact sensor supports I2C and SPI communication, offering flexibility for different microcontroller platforms. It's a great resource for environmental monitoring, weather stations, and physics lessons.

Educational Benefits:

• Enhances understanding of pressure, temperature, and altitude relationships.
• Supports weather modelling and data analysis activities.
• Introduces I2C and SPI sensor interfacing.
• Encourages STEM integration across physics, geography, and coding.
