The Altimeter Module MS5607 is a high resolution (20 cm) electronic altimeter sensor that gives highly accurate altitude, pressure, and temperature readings.
The module includes a high-linearity barometric pressure sensor and a high-resolution temperature output, allowing implementation of an altimeter/thermometer without any additional sensors. Different operation modes allow the user to optimize for conversion speed or current consumption. The module is designed for use with a large variety of microcontrollers with different voltage requirements. This module is well-suited for high-altitude ballooning and has been used with great success in that role.
Key Features:
- 24-bit pressure and temperature values
- Wide pressure range
- Successfully tested at 120,000 feet
Application Ideas:
- Mobile altimeter / barometer systems
- Rate of Climb and Descent Indicator (RCDI)
- High altitude balloons
- Height sensing
- Navigation
- Weather station
- Altitude hold for UAVs
- IMU builds
