MPL3115A2 Precision Altimeter¶

This class wraps the functions of the MPL3115A2 sensor into a usable class that exposes most functions to your project. Functions that are not exposed can easily be added using the existing functions in this library. Specifically, I did not add any functions to handle FIFO logging or the use of either of the pin interrupts. This should not be too difficult to add if you need those features.

The motivation here was to get a set of support classes together that supported the chip and could be expanded on. With this library you can extract all relevant data from the sensor.

Be sure to download the DATASHEET and the App Note AN4519.

This library was created using the mbed NXP LPC11U24. Pins p27 and p28 were used for the I2C functions. Be sure to install 1K pull-up resistors on both lines. Also, if you're not using the SparkFun breakout board, be sure to use the right caps on the power pin. If you don't, the jitter can cause problems.

This library was inspired by the similar library available for the Arduino written by Nathan Seidle at SparkFun. I copied some of the number crunching routines and tried to follow his style of coding for the library. That way users of Arduinos could step into this library a little easier.
