Humidity, pressure, and temperature sensing: To
Conclusion Drones present an unusually difficult design challenge of requiring high functionality and long flight times. As with any design, the main tasks the device will be required to perform must be known in order to develop a plan to ensure an optimal architecture that meets the project requirements.
help determine atmospheric conditions, designers can use Bosch Sensortec’s BME280, a digital humidity, pressure, and temperature sensor with an SPI interface. It’s highly integrated, measuring 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm x 0.93 mm, and consumes as little as 0.1 µA in sleep mode, or up to 3.6 µA when sensing all three parameters. Accelerate time to market with multi-sensor development kits The DA14585IOTMSENSOR is a multi-sensor development kit from Dialog Semiconductor that uses environmental sensors from Bosch Sensortec and motion sensors from TDK Invensense. This kit is important for designers because it is a good platform upon which to experiment with and develop drone sensing sensor fusion capabilities and accelerate time to market. It has a BME680 low-power gas, humidity, pressure, and temperature sensor, as well as an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. The DA14585IOTMSENSOR’s sensor fusion capabilities lets designers see how this feature can be used to both get better overall sensing performance, while also extending drone battery life.
