Here the steps to follow with the BMP280 to estimate the altitude of the house:
# Find the hPa (or mmbar) pressure at Sea Level on a WebSite
+
# Find the hPa pressure at Sea Level on a WebSite
# Use that value as baseline (don't hesitate to multiply it by 100)
+
# Use the BMP280 sensor to read the pressure.  
# Use the sensor and the BMP280 library to read the altitude.  
+
# Calculate the height with the following code
# Calculate the correction value (for the air's colonne) in hPa = height-in-meter / 8.3
     −
When you have to "correction" value you don't have to care anymore about the baseline.

<syntaxhighlight lang="python">

from machine import I2C
 +
# BME280 aslo work for BMP280
 +
from bme280 import BME280, BMP280_I2CADDR
 +
from time import sleep
 +
i2c = I2C(1)
 +
 
 +
baseline = 1032.0 # day's pressure at sea level
 +
bmp = BME280( i2c=i2c, address=BMP280_I2CADDR )
 +
while True:
 +
    # returns a tuple with (temperature, pressure_hPa, humidity)
 +
    p = bmp.raw_values[1]
 +
    altitude = (baseline - p)*8.3
 +
    print( "Altitude: %f m" % altitude )
 +
    sleep(1)

Indeed, we can read the current pressure (without caring about the baseline) THEN we add the "correction" value --> Tadaaa! We have the SLP pressure (the same than displayed on Reference Weather Station).
      
  <nowiki># mean pressure at the sea level (not critical for SLP pressure)
 
  <nowiki># mean pressure at the sea level (not critical for SLP pressure)
Ligne 158 : Ligne 171 :  
p = bmp280.pressure + compensation</nowiki>
 
p = bmp280.pressure + compensation</nowiki>
   −
where {{fname|p}} would contains pressure normalized at sea level (so the SLP value).
     −
The downside of the "mean pressure value" approach (101325 Pa) is that you cannot estimate the altitude with accuracy.
  −
However, by updating the baseline value every day with the "day's pressure" at sea level (see on Internet broadcast website) then the altitude calculation would be fairly precise.
