# MS5611
Arduino library for MS5611 temperature and pressure sensor.
## Description
The MS5611 is a high resolution temperature and pressure sensor.
The high resolution is made possible by oversampling (many times).
The device address is 0x76 or 0x77 depending on the CSB pin.
#### 0.3.0 breaking changes
1. fixed math error so previous versions are **obsolete**.
2. temperature is a float expressed in degrees Celsius.
3. pressure is a float expressed in mBar.
## Interface
- **MS5611(uint8_t deviceAddress)** constructor.
- **bool begin(uint8_t sda, uint8_t scl, TwoWire \*wire = &Wire)** for ESP and alike, optionally set Wire interface. initializes internals,
- **bool begin(TwoWire \*wire = &Wire)** for UNO and alike, optionally set Wire interface. Initializes internals.
- **bool isConnected()** checks availability of device address on the I2C bus.
- **reset()** resets the chip and loads constants from its ROM.
- **int read(uint8_t bits)** the actual reading of the sensor. Returns MS5611_READ_OK upon success.
- **int read()** the actual reading of the sensor. Returns MS5611_READ_OK upon success.
- **void setOversampling(osr_t samplingRate)** sets the amount of oversampling.
See table below and test example how to use.
- **osr_t getOversampling()** returns amount of oversampling.
- **float getTemperature()** returns temperature in °C. Subsequent calls will return same value until a new **read()** is called.
- **float getPressure()** pressure is in mBar. Subsequent calls will return same value until a new **read()** is called.
- **int getLastResult()** checks last I2C communication (replace with more informative error handling?)
- **uint32_t lastRead()** last time when **read()** was called in millis() since startup.
#### Oversampling table
| definition | value | oversampling ratio | resolution (mbar) | time (ms) | notes |
|:--------------:|:-----:|:------------------:|:----------------:|:---------:|:------:|
| OSR_ULTRA_HIGH | 12 | 4096 | 0.012 | 8.22 |
| OSR_HIGH | 11 | 2048 | 0.018 | 4.1 |
| OSR_STANDARD | 10 | 1024 | 0.027 | 2.1 |
| OSR_LOW | 9 | 512 | 0.042 | 1.1 |
| OSR_ULTRA_LOW | 8 | 256 | 0.065 | 0.5 | Default = backwards compatible
## Disclaimer
The library is experimental. As I have no such sensor the quality is hard to test.
So if you happen to have such a sensor, please give it a try and let me know.
## Operation
See examples
## Future
- get such a sensor to test
- update documentation
- create a SPI based library (same base class if possible?)
- proper error handling
- redo lower level functions?
- handle the read + math of temperature first? (need hardware to test)
