Hitechnic has just announced their next sensor! It's a barometric sensor. With a built-in temperature sensor and an altimeter (of sorts).
The sensor can measure 1/1000th Inch of Mercury (inHg) and 1/10th Hectopascals. And temperature is measured in 1/10th degree Celsius and Fahrenheit. (Fahrenheit is just a conversion from Celsius). The elevation sensing part of it can measure in Feet and Meters.
"By default, the altitude calculation is based on a "standard atmosphere" with an altitude pressure at sea-level of 29.921 inHg." (HiTechnic)
Maybe if you had the Compass, Barometric, and Angle sensors, you could build a robotic weatherman!
They are asking the normal HT sensor price: $54.95
