Hello,
I am wondering if anyone has used a barometric pressure sensor with myRIO board. If yes can you suggest any good accuracy sensor?
What about this? http://www.embeddedadventures.com/barometric_pressure_sensor_module_mod-1009.html
Will it function properly with myRIO?
Thank you,
Christos

Hey Christos,
Looking at the sensor you linked, that should work just fine with the myRIO. It uses the I2C/SPI protocols to transmit its readings to a controller, and the myRIO has dedicated pins for I2C/SPI communication. Therefore, you should have no problems pulling pressure measurements from the sensor.
The myRIO also has a 3.3V output pin for powering external sensors, so you should be able to power the sensor directly from the myRIO as well.
I hope this helps!
