Description

The BMP388 sensor module utilizes a MEMS-based piezoresistive sensing element to deliver highly accurate barometric pressure and temperature measurements. Its 24-bit ADC provides a resolution down to 0.016 Pa in high-precision mode, enabling fine-grained altitude tracking with a relative accuracy of ±0.08 hPa. The integrated signal conditioning ensures stable output even in dynamic environmental conditions.

Designed for low-power applications, the module features a configurable sampling rate up to 200 Hz, allowing a balance between measurement detail and energy consumption. Its compact 32mm x 20mm form factor includes standard 2.0mm mounting holes for secure installation in drones, weather stations, and wearable devices.

Key Features

  • 24-bit high-resolution digital output for precise pressure and temperature data.
  • Dual communication protocol support (I2C address 0x76/0x77 and SPI) for flexible system integration.
  • Broad operating voltage range (3.3V to 5V DC) facilitated by an integrated level-shifting circuit.
  • Excellent long-term stability and low temperature coefficient (±0.75 Pa/K) for reliable performance.
  • Robust operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for harsh environment deployment.
  • Ultra-compact PCB design with pre-soldered headers and included PH2.0 5-pin connection cable.
  • Comprehensive development resources including libraries and examples for Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and STM32 platforms.

Applications

  • Drone and UAV altitude hold, navigation, and landing systems.
  • Portable weather stations and environmental monitoring loggers.
  • Indoor navigation and floor-level detection in smartphones and wearables.
  • IoT-based smart agriculture for weather forecasting and microclimate analysis.
  • Advanced bicycle computers and sports watches for elevation gain tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the default I2C address of the Waveshare BMP388 module?

The BMP388 sensor has two possible I2C addresses: 0x76 and 0x77. The Waveshare module typically comes configured with one of these addresses, which is detailed in the provided documentation. You can also modify the address by connecting or disconnecting the onboard address selection Jumper if present.

Can I use this sensor with both 5V Arduino and 3.3V Raspberry Pi?

Yes, the module includes an onboard voltage level translator, making it fully compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems. You can connect it directly to the I2C or SPI pins of a 5V Arduino Uno or a 3.3V Raspberry Pi without requiring additional logic level shifters.

How accurate is the altitude measurement from the barometric pressure reading?

Altitude accuracy depends on pressure accuracy and local weather conditions. With an absolute pressure accuracy of ±0.40 hPa, the module can typically resolve altitude changes to within roughly ±0.5 meters under stable atmospheric conditions, making it suitable for drone altitude hold and wearable elevation tracking.

What is the purpose of the included PH2.0 5-pin cable?

The PH2.0 5-pin cable provides a convenient plug-and-play connection between the sensor module's header and a compatible host board or breadboard. It breaks out the power (VCC, GND), I2C (SDA, SCL), and chip select (CS) signals for SPI mode, simplifying wiring and prototyping.
