Measuring Height with Atmospheric Pressure

Find out how to build a pressure-sensor based height measuring tool in our latest tutorial!

We're always under pressure from the atmosphere around us, even if we forget! Using the Qwiic MicroPressureSensor as the cornerstone of her project, Mariah built a tool that can measure height using atmospheric pressure readings. You'll even get a look at the software she used as well! Check it out below, and think about what projects you might want to do with measuring pressure.
