= !Pressure/Temperature/Weather forecast sensor (BMP085) =

== Software ==
You can download the Arduino sketch here:\\
http://code.mios.com/trac/mios_arduino-sensor/browser/trunk/Arduino/PressureSensor

Before downloading the sketch to the Arduino you need to select a unique RADIO_ID (see top of sketch source code). The RADIO_ID must be unique in your radio network and is also used on the Vera side to distinguish between different sensors. 
After updating RADIO_ID and downloading the code you should be ready to go.
This sensor sleeps most of the time. You can change the sleep interval by updating SLEEP_TIME define at the top of the file. 

This sensor requires you to upload the following device files to Vera as well.\\
http://code.mios.com/trac/mios_arduino-sensor/browser/trunk/Vera
D_BarometerSensor1.xml\\
D_BarometerSensor1.json\\
S_BarometerSensor1.xml\\

== Wire things up ==

Follow the instructions in ConnectingRadioModule to connect radio module.

To connect the BMP085 sensor to the Arduino board follow these instructions:\\
Connect VCC of the BMP085 sensor to 3.3V (NOT 5.0V!)\\
Connect GND to Ground\\
Connect SCL to i2c clock - on 168/328 Arduino !Nano/Uno/Duemilanove/etc thats Analog 5\\
Connect SDA to i2c data - on 168/328 Arduino !Nano/Uno/Duemilanove/etc thats Analog 4\\
EOC is not used, it signifies an end of conversion\\
XCLR is a reset pin, also not used here\\

== Hardware - Purchase guide ==

This is the stuff you need to purchase to build the PressureSensor. Note that I've provided links to the things I bought during the development. You might find it cheaper somewhere else. Also note that you might need to buy like 10x of some items to get the price specified.

1x Cheap Arduino Nano without serial interface and usb connector\\

(You might later need some housing and transformer or battery compartment as well)

TOTAL SENSOR PRICE: $3,99 + $0.93 + $0,6 + $3,8 = $9,32

To download code to the cheapest Arduino Nano sensors (that is missing the serial USB port) you need to buy one of following as well. It is only attached while downloading code and can be reused between sensors.
