HiTechnic NXT Barometric Sensor

The NXT Barometric Sensor can be used as part of a weather station or to monitor altitude. The sensor can be used to read both atmospheric pressure and temperature. The pressure value from the sensor is in 1/1000th of inch Mercury (inHg) and the temperature is in 1/10th degree Celsius. The NXT-G block allows the NXT to read the pressure in either inHg or hPa (hectopascals) and temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees. Once adjusted for current conditions, the block can also calculate altitude in feet or meters.
