The Bosch BMP085 and BMP180 barometric pressure sensors are two small sensors that can measure minute changes in atmospheric pressure.  These sensors, like most barometric pressure sensors, can be used to monitor the weather.  A big benefit to Bosch’s sensors is they are also sensitive enough to measure changes in altitude. This high sensitivity is a double-edged sword though; with the extra sensitivity comes extra noise.  This tutorial will show you how to hook up a Bosch BMP085 or BMP180 breakout board, basic software to get started, and software to improve the data coming from the sensor.
