Example Code for Arduino-Read Data from FIFO

Hardware Preparation

• DFRduino UNO R3 (or similar) x 1
• Fermion: LPS27HHW pressure sensor x 1
• Jumper wires

Software Preparation

• Arduino IDE
• Download and install the LPS27HHW Library. (About how to install the library?)

Wiring Diagram

Other Preparation Work

Ensure the sensor is powered with 3.3V; use a level conversion module for 5V main controls. Install the LPS27HHW library in Arduino IDE.

Additional Information

Using FIFO reduces power consumption by minimizing communication with the sensor.
