The altimeter is designed to measure altitude to a high precision in low altitude environments. It is capable of resolving changes of altitude of 1 metre and can be used to show how the atmospheric pressure changes from the bottom to the top of stairs in the school.

The sensor includes in-built temperature compensation.

  1. range -300 to 500m
