Sense both barometric air pressure as well as ambient temperature with this sensor. Go up in the air, climb a mountain: our software allows you to calculate your altitude using the sensor data. A digital I2C sensor, that outputs cailbrated, high resolution, low-noise signals.
Application examples
- Combine the Air2D sensor with a Humid and Light
to create a full-blown home climate control system. Add Switches to control water valves.

Software support |
- 23 Jul 2019: Air2D v1.10 for MacOS and Windows from source code in Max. For multiple sensors or sensor outputs, run multiple instances of the application, each started in its own folder. Requires a digitizer with firmware v7.3 or higher. Use together with Connect (MacOS / Windows).
- 17 Jun 2017: Air2D v1.00 for MacOS and Windows from source code in Max. For multiple sensors or sensor outputs, run multiple instances of the application, each started in its own folder. Requires a digitizer with firmware v7.3 or higher. Use together with Connect (MacOS / Windows).

Application notes |
- Make sure the sensor is plugged into the digitizer with the red wire connected to power. Reversing the plug may cause damage to the sensor.
- Requires a digitizer with digital (I2C) ports, eg. USB-microDig or WiDig with firmware v7.3 or higher.
- The default I2C address is 119 (0x77). Both I2C lines have 2.2 kOhm pull-up resistors.
- Our software enables you to use most features of this sensor.
- For more technical specs, and to find out how to access the sensor data in detail, please consult this datasheet.
- To extend the cable, use ExtendCableD-01 and/or ExtendCableD-10.
