Barometric Pressure Web Server

This example shows how to use SPI communications to read data from a SCP1000 Barometric Pressure sensor, and how to then post that data to the web by using your Arduino / Ethernet Shield combo as a simple web server. Using the Ethernet library, your device will be able to answer HTTP requests by responding with just enough HTML for a browser to display the temperature and barometric pressure values outputted by your sensor. After completing your circuit and uploading the example code below, simply navigate to your Ethernet shield's IP address, in a browser, to see this information.

See the Barometric Pressure Sensor example for more on how the sensor works.

Hardware Required

  • Arduino Board

  • SCP1000 Pressure Sensor Breakout Board

  • Arduino Ethernet Shield

Circuit

Your Barometric Pressure sensor will be attached to pins 6,7, and the SPI pins of your Arduino / Ethernet shield combo, and powered via your device's 3.3 volt output. Connect the DRDY (Data Ready) pin on your sensor to digital pin 6 on your combo, and the CSB pin (Chip Select) to digital pin 7. Your sensor's MOSI (Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), and SCK (SPI clock input) pins should then be connected to the SPI pins on your Arduino board/shield. The SPI pin numbers differ depending on which Arduino board you're using and are listed in the SPI reference page. Make sure that the two share a common ground.

After wiring your sensor, your shield should be connected to a network with an Ethernet cable. You will need to change the network settings in the program to correspond to your network.
