BLEBRICK Atmospheric pressure and temperature

Sensor for measuring atmospheric pressure and temperature.

SKU 7300-BLEBPRTItem type: Assembled, Shields & add-ons

Description

The Blebrick PRT is a sensor that measures atmospheric pressure and temperature. The user can configure the sampling interval, temperature and pressure oversampling, temperature and pressure offset, and the moving-average filter coefficient. Applications: improving GPS navigation systems (for example improving time-to-first-fix, dead-reckoning, slope detection), indoor navigation (floor detection, elevator detection), outdoor navigation (sport and leisure applications), weather forecasting, healthcare applications (spirometer), vertical speed indication (rate of climb/descent).

 
Blebricks: instant prototyping for IoT, smart sensors and RFID

The Internet of Things is finally within everyone’s reach.

Blebricks are smart bricks built with patented technology that lets you create new wirelessly-connected electronic devices simply by assembling them.

Indeed, this technology allows devices to be created even without technical skills in electronics or programming. Prototyping is instant, which makes it appealing to anyone who wants to build their own device quickly and easily.

How does it work? Very simple

Each Blebrick performs a specific function. You can choose from a wide range of sensors, actuators, power and communication devices such as: motion sensors, environmental sensors, CO2 sensors, infrared sensors and air quality sensors, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and LP-WAN communication devices, to name a few.

To add the desired functions, simply snap the Blebricks together. They configure themselves automatically to work together, and your device prototype is ready right away!

You can view sensor data and interact with it (locally, with your smartphone) using our MakeApp for Android devices. Or, if you want to build a custom app, you can do so with MIT App Inventor.

Finally, you can interact with the Blebricks wherever you are, simply by connecting them to the Internet and accessing the Bricksboard portal.

Thanks to this highly innovative technology, you can cut development time and costs by more than 90% when going from idea to product. Also, being low-power, Blebricks are also suitable for developing battery-powered, portable or wearable devices.

The modular nature of Blebricks makes it possible to create a finished product that is cheaper and faster to build. Discover our Fast Route To Production.
