Arduino Sketch Help BPM180 and LCD output
-
Hi all !
I am new to this Arduino thing and i have an arduino nano ( fake Robodyn V3 Atmega 168) .. Its working well so far. I am sorry if this is posted in the wrong place , please correct me
I have a sketch for the BMP180 pressure sensor to give me a lot of data on the serial port.
I also have a 1602A V 2.0 Display and i soldered a module to it ( i believe LCM1602) so that i can hook up the display by only 4 wires. I would like to have the data from the Pressure Sensor display on the LCD. ( i only would like to have the pressure show up , no need for temp and all the other), The refresh rate on the display I would like to see as accurate ( fast ) as possible. .
Could someone please let me know how i can accomplish it ? And where do i have to attach the 4 Cables from the LCD ( SCL SDA VCC GND ) because the pressure sensor is using the spots...Attached is the example sketch of the pressure sensor... ( i have the librarys loaded and it is working ) ...
Thank you !
/* SFE_BMP180 library example sketch
This sketch shows how to use the SFE_BMP180 library to read the
Bosch BMP180 barometric pressure sensor.
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11824Like most pressure sensors, the BMP180 measures absolute pressure.
This is the actual ambient pressure seen by the device, which will
vary with both altitude and weather.Before taking a pressure reading you must take a temparture reading.
This is done with startTemperature() and getTemperature().
The result is in degrees C.Once you have a temperature reading, you can take a pressure reading.
This is done with startPressure() and getPressure().
The result is in millibar (mb) aka hectopascals (hPa).If you'll be monitoring weather patterns, you will probably want to
remove the effects of altitude. This will produce readings that can
be compared to the published pressure readings from other locations.
To do this, use the sealevel() function. You will need to provide
the known altitude at which the pressure was measured.If you want to measure altitude, you will need to know the pressure
at a baseline altitude. This can be average sealevel pressure, or
a previous pressure reading at your altitude, in which case
subsequent altitude readings will be + or - the initial baseline.
This is done with the altitude() function.Hardware connections:
- (GND) to GND
- (VDD) to 3.3V
(WARNING: do not connect + to 5V or the sensor will be damaged!)
You will also need to connect the I2C pins (SCL and SDA) to your
Arduino. The pins are different on different Arduinos:Any Arduino pins labeled: SDA SCL
Uno, Redboard, Pro: A4 A5
Mega2560, Due: 20 21
Leonardo: 2 3Leave the IO (VDDIO) pin unconnected. This pin is for connecting
the BMP180 to systems with lower logic levels such as 1.8VHave fun! -Your friends at SparkFun.
The SFE_BMP180 library uses floating-point equations developed by the
Weather Station Data Logger project: http://wmrx00.sourceforge.net/Our example code uses the "beerware" license. You can do anything
you like with this code. No really, anything. If you find it useful,
buy me a beer someday.V10 Mike Grusin, SparkFun Electronics 10/24/2013

Please update post format source code using the </> button in the composer.
Yes, it is possible to accomplish. But you'll probably have to try to create something to start with. And this isn't really a MySensors project you know
