A small update to Jeti VarioMeter:
Modifications
- Altitude redefined
- Separate values for absolute altitude and relative altitude
- Naming of altitudes makes Jeti now announce right sensor-type when using telemetry announcement
I also found a small error in the new library which is also corrected.
Get the update and enjoy Jeti VarioMeter here!
Hi Tero,
Can I use the more precise MS5611 instead of BP280 for the vario?
Is there anything to change in the sketch/library?
Best Regards
Volker
You can of course use it. The library needs to be changed and how the values are pulled from sensor-module. Cool thing about MS5611 library is that it gives relative and absolute altitude without own calculation but that's not a big deal. The "manual" calculation in BMP280 allows us to reset the relative altitude which needs to be done in a different way with MS5611.
But yes, very possible. There's quite many comparisons in the web (youtube too) and looking at the values I think there's no practical advantage to use one over the other.
I don't have any MS5611 so I cannot write code or test it myself.
