Example Code for Arduino: Read Pressure, Temperature, Altitude of Fermion ICP-10111 Sensor

This article provides a step-by-step guide to using an Arduino along with the ICP 10111 sensor to measure pressure, temperature, and altitude. It includes necessary hardware and software preparations, wiring instructions, and a full example code to help users easily implement the project. The tutorial is designed for beginners interested in learning about environmental monitoring with Arduino.

Hardware Preparation

DFRduino UNO R3, SKU: 838, Quantity: 1, Purchase Link: DFRduino UNO R3
Fermion ICP 10111 Pressure Sensor, SKU: SEN0516, Quantity: 1, Purchase Link: Fermion: ICP-10111 Barometric Pressure Temperature Sensor
Jumper wires, Quantity: Several, Purchase Link: Not specified

Software Preparation

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

Wiring Diagram

Connect the module to the DFRduino UNO main board (via the I2C interface) as shown in the figure below.

Connection

Other Preparation Work

Copy the following code to Arduino IDE and burn it to DFRduino UNO.

Note: Altitude is calculated from air pressure. As air pressure is affected by weather, season, airflow, etc. so altitude data can change.

Sample Code

}

void loop(void)
{
  Serial.println("------------------------------");
  Serial.print("Read air pressure:");
  Serial.print(icp.getAirPressure());
  Serial.println("Pa");
  Serial.print("Read temperature:");
  Serial.print(icp.getTemperature());
  Serial.println("℃");
  Serial.print("Read altitude:");
  Serial.print(icp.getElevation());
  Serial.println("m");
  delay(1000);
}

Result

Open the serial monitor and you will see the barometric pressure, temperature, and altitude of the current environment.
