BMP180 and Orange Pi Zero
BAROMETER AND TEMPERATURE
Barometric pressure measurement is possible with the BMP180 or GY-68 sensor which also provides the ambient temperature via an I2c bus.
Connection
Connect as shown in the diagram, the BMP180 module to the I2c0 bus.
Activation of the I2c bus
We start with an Orange PI with the Armbian system already installed. You have to configure the system by running ‘armbian-config’, the equivalent of ‘raspiconfig’ on Raspberry.
$ armbian-config
Go to the “system” section and select “Hardware” then activate i2c0.
Install the I2c utilities.
apt install i2c-tools
Test the response of the BMP180.
i2cdetect -y 0
Installation Libraries
Installation of the i2c bus access library with python3:
apt install python-smbus python3-smbus
With nano, create the python3 testbmp.py file and copy the source here below. Each sensor has its own set of calibration coefficients which must not be zero. They are read and displayed by the program.
