1 Wire Barometer -  By using a dual voltage supply, instrument precision and/or instrument range can be improved without adding significantly to the parts count.… [from A.G. Miller's web site]
1-Wire Barometer (David Bray) -  This article describes details for constructing a 1-Wire Barometer which will work on a Dallas Semiconductor Corporation 1-Wire network....(Designer is David Bray]
1-wire barometer (gladstone) -  This is a description and the ongoing story of my project to build a 1-wire barometer based on the MPX4115A.  (added 08/08/08)
Altimeter/Variometer for free flying -  A handheld instrument intended for the paraglider and hang glider pilot. Displays altitude above sea level, altitude above take off, climb and fall rates, flight time, maximum altitude. Software-calibrated, features a backlit LCD, internal rechargeable batteries and internal charge regulator. Uses a Basic Stamp II. [Manfred Mornhinweg]

An Experimenter's 1-Wire Barometer -  This article describes details for constructing a 1-Wire Barometer which will work on a Dallas Semiconductor Corporation 1-Wire network…(circuit added 08/08)
Basic Stamp Based Altimeter -  A method of determining altitude is by  use of barometric pressure; however, it is not done without difficulty. The relationship of pressure vs. altitude is not a linear one, it is actually a fairly complex one, which  army came up with in  1930's.  This is  equation for calculating....  (added 6/06)
Electronic Barometer -  Sooner or later the weather hobbyist wants an electronic barometer, the main advantage being that it can be read automatically by a computer, chart recorder, or other data taking system. Most electronic barometers use some sort of strain gauge transducer to directly convert pressure to voltage and true weather bureau performance can be difficult to achiever....(design idea added 05/05/05)
Electronic Barometers -  (electronic circuit added 7/03)
Home-Brew electronic altimeter -  A while back, I decided I wanted an altimeter to record how high my rockets were flying. I didn't want to buy one, since a) they aren't cheap (at least, not the ones which do everything I want them to do), and b) buying one is far too easy. I considered the CP Technologies kit, which is based on the Missile Works RRC2,....(added 6/07)
Liquid Barometer -  Have you ever noticed how those technical-looking aneroid barometers in the stores all indicate a different pressure? And when you....(design idea added 05/05/05)
Small Portable altimeter operates from a single cell -  06/21/01 EDN-Design Ideas  Some sports enthusiasts want to know altitude changes from an initial elevation. A small, lightweight, portable altimeter is easy to design using modern micromachined pressure transducers. Inverting barometric pressure and compensating for nonlinearities in air-pressure changes…several designs included, scroll to find this one.... [Design Idea by Todd Owen, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA]
