Example Code for Arduino – BMP280 Temperature, Pressure, and Altitude Reading

Read the temperature, atmospheric pressure, altitude and other information collected by the 10Dof module, and print the values through the serial port. The units of the measured values are Celsius, pa, and m, respectively. The altitude is calculated from the temperature and pressure values collected by the on-board sensor BMP280, not the actual measured value, and there is an error.
