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

fixed math error so previous versions are obsolete.
temperature is a float expressed in degrees Celsius.
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 = 8) the actual reading of the sensor. Returns MS5611_READ_OK upon success
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 .

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 hw to test)
