LPS22HB click

LPS22HB click is an easy solution for adding a digital barometer to your design. It carries the LPS22HB MEMS nano pressure sensor. The click is designed to run on a 3.3V power supply. LPS22HB click communicates with the target microcontroller over I2C or SPI interface.

How the click works

LPS22HB click carries the pressure sensor that measures 260-1260 hPa absolute pressure. Pressure values are then read out from the IC’s registers, through I2C or SPI communication.

LPS22HB sensor features

The LPS22HB is an ultra-compact piezoresistive absolute pressure sensor which functions as a digital output barometer.

The sensing element, which detects absolute pressure, consists of a suspended membrane. When pressure is applied, the membrane deflection induces an imbalance in the Wheatstone bridge piezoresistances, whose output signal is converted by the IC interface.

The sensor has a 24-bit pressure data output and a 16-bit temperature data output.

Code snippet

The following code snippet shows the main function of the example, which first calls the initialization functions, and then reads and outputs temperature and pressure values every 5 seconds

01 void main()
02 {
03 char uartTxt [20];
04 systemInit();
05 LPS22HB_initDriver (0x5C, I2C1_Start, I2C1_Write, I2C1_Read );
06 Uart1_Write_Text ("rnInitialized");
07 
08 while( 1 )
09 {
10 Uart1_Write_Text ("rnTemperature: ");
11 FloatToStr ( LPS22HB_readTemperature (), uartTxt);
12 uartTxt [5] = '';
13 Uart1_Write_Text (uartTxt);
14 
15 Uart1_Write_Text (" Pressure: ");
16 FloatToStr ( LPS22HB_readPressure (), uartTxt);
17 uartTxt [8] = '';
18 Uart1_Write_Text (uartTxt);
19 
20 Delay_ms (5000);
21 }
22 }
