(*) OE 1 GCA (*)


The amplifier for the barometric sensor removes the offset and spreads the output range for 922 - 1049hPa to a signal of 0-2.5V.
This signal is measured with a serial 8-bit adc (Ti TLC549) which is connected to the parallel port of the pc.
I'm using "cron" to capture the barometric pressure values every 15 minutes.
The values are stored in a textfile and every night "gnuplot" is used to plot the desired graphs.


The amplifier can be modified easily to adopt to the requirements of the datalogger.
You can use this spreadsheet: MPX4100A.xls.
An example for 922hPa to 1049hPa with output 0-5V can be found here.
