Barometer BMP280 (101020192) component
Barometric pressure sensor with a I2C bus interface. Pressure range 300 to 1100 hPa. Temperature range -40 to +85 °C.
It must be connected to the correct channel, also make sure that the SDA and SCL are connected to the right pins in flowcode. The barometer sensor must be initialised before it can take any readings. There is also a macro to reset the device. Make sure you know that the readings given for temperature are going to be in °C. Since atmospheric pressure changes with altitude, it can be used to measure the altitude of a location. Pressure and temperature are measured as floating points in flowcode 8 so it’s very accurate. There is a macro to reset the barometer as well so you can take new readings.

Property reference
Slave Address
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name SlaveAddress.
No additional information
Channel
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::CHANNEL.
Channel selection
SDA
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::SDA.
Pin used for SDA (data signal)
SCL
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::SCL.
Pin used for SCL (clock signal)
Baud Select
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::BAUD_LIST.
Baud rate option selector
Baud Rate
This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::BAUD.
Baud rate to be used
Stop Delay
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::StopDel.
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not
a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event.
Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the
I2C communications.
Compensation
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name Compensation.
