Hi,

By the way, what can we use the baro for? Altitude measurement or
weather forecast?

Hi,

The program (and sensor) can do either. Barom presents the data both ways and it is up to the user to know that:

a; they are stationary and the pressure graph shows the weather
                  -or-
b; they are moving and pressure changes are mostly due to altitude changes, so the altitude window is more useful.

Some (slightly out of date) screenshots are here: http://www.jeepingben.net/barom/

I hope this isn't too off-topic (barom only works in SHR to my knowledge)

Has anyone played with the barometer in the GTA04?  I finally fixed a rare
intermittent segfault (yes, the python process segfaulted) in barom so it
can track the pressure trend for days.

I was wondering if it works on GTA04, I don't know if sysfs files have moved
around, or even if the bmp085 module is being built for that platform.  The
new package is here:
http://www.jeepingben.net/barom/barom_0.7_all.ipk

These are the commands I have in my post-flash setup script to get the
bmp085 module to work on startup for me.

echo "install bmp085 echo "bmp085 0x77">
/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/new_device; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
bmp085">/etc/modprobe.d/bmp085.conf

echo bmp085>  /etc/modutils/bmp085

/usr/sbin/update-modules

#to load the module without rebooting first
modprobe bmp085
