bmp_caldata_t Struct Reference

BMP085 & BMP180 calibration coeffs.

Every sensor module has unique individual coefficients stored in the device EEPROM. Before pressure and temperature can be calculated these values must be read and stored for use in the compensated (i.e. "real") temperature and pressure calculations.

This data structure and macros below define a type that stores calibration coefficients for Bosch BMP085, BMP180, or SMD500 pressure sensors. The fields are named per the Bosch documentation defining the compensated temperature and pressure equations that require these coefficients.

The driver currently statically allocates storage for only one copy of the calibration coefficients. In the event that a system is built with multiple BMP085 (for example) pressure sensors this scheme will not work, as each physical device will require a device-specific copy of the coeffs for use in compensated temperature and pressure calculations for the device.
