hi,
I need to read barometric pressure from BMP180 sensor on 0x77 i2c address
I've tried to open_i2c.vi , read_i2c.vi and on serial I receive always value "255", as address pin I put "77"
it is correct? what can I do?
thanks

Yes, 0x77 is the correct address. The VIs you referenced dont sounds like the correct ones for the Arduino Compatible Compiler for LabVIEW. Please post your VIs if you want further support.

thank you very much
I've attached my VI
sorry but it is my first i2c VI
thanks again ,

You are missing quite a bit of code. You need to send the register address you are trying to read first before reading the data. I attached an example VI we had for a BMP180 demo you can use as a starting point.

thank you very much.
I've studied your very helpful VIs and I think I understood.
Now BMP180 works fine.
But now i have an other problem, from yesterday when I try to compile a VI with RTC i receive this error and I don't know why

Sounds like you are not calling I2C open somewhere. If that's not the issue please post your VI.

hi,
your example show how to read and compensate obly the temperature, right?
what about pressure?
thanks

Yes that example only shows temperature. But it should be trivial to add pressure. Just read the appropriate calibration constants and readings for pressure per the datasheet.

Hi,
I've tried to built a VI aroud read temperature and pressure, but I can't understant how I can calculate "B3", "B4" and "B7" in "calculate true pressure" window on the Bosch datasheet (see attached), can anyone help me?
In my VI I perfectly calculate true temperature and read unconpensed pressure
thanks

The equations for B3, B4, and B7 are in the datasheet you referenced. You only need oss, AC1, AC3, and AC4 to compute these, which are the calibration and settings registers you have access to. Let me know where your confusion is.

I can't understand what does it means "<<" symbol and with what I need to replace "unsigned long" word

That is a left shift and (unsigned long) is a cast. You need to be able to understand this C code to be able to reproduce it in LabVIEW. It would probably be more efficient to write a LabVIEW wrapper around a readily available BMP180 library. You could check this forum to see if anyone has done that already but I am not aware of it. If there is a demand for it, this is something we could do but it would not happen right away.

Hi everyone,
I've tried to do a VI for read temperature and pressure through BMP180, I share with you all
If you need to read this sensor you can use this my VI hoping it's fair

Michele,
I have created an addon for the BMP180 to read temperature and pressure that utilizes the SFE_BMP180 Arduino library. Feel free to use this one. It just needs to be unzipped to the Arduino Compatible Compiler for LabVIEW's addons directory.

Hi Steffan, I have the same problem as this one... '_Wire' was not declared in this scope.
I have checked that I have the "I2C Open" vi in the initialisation, so I have attached my zipped up LabVIEW source code. I would appreciate and help you may be able to give.
Many thanks

Please upload your code, there is no attachment on your post.

Thanks Steffan - not sure where the file went. However, I have sent the zipped up LVFlowProject.

It compiled fine for me. Are you sure you are stating the correct error or is this possibly your issue?

Thanks for checking that Steffan, and for the suggestions.
I have attached the complete error listing from the compiler, which I notice also includes an error relating to the Serial comms which have been working fine.
Is it possible that this relates to file locations?
Thanks again for your help.
