The classic parallel LCD sometimes poses a problem for projects that use a lot of Arduino pins. The least amount of pins you can use is six, excluding the power pins and the potentiometer contrast adjust (optional) pin. Thankfully, by using an I2C LCD "backpack", the pin use can be …

This Arduino Altimeter project features the BMP085 atmospheric pressure sensor by Bosch. Because atmospheric pressure is directly related to altitude above sea level, we can use this sensor to determine current height with respect to the height of the oceans. The height is given in meters and is displayed on …
