This barometric pressure temperature sensor is equipped with TDK's newly-launched ICP-10111 barometric pressure sensor, which is based on MEMS capacitor technology to achieve ultra-low power consumption, industry-leading relative accuracy, and temperature offset coefficient.
The Gravity: ICP-10111 barometric pressure temperature sensor can measure the pressure difference with an accuracy of ±1Pa, an accuracy enabling altitude measurement differentials as small as 8.5 cm, less than the height of a single stair step.
The pressure noise can be as low as 0.4Pa, and the read data will be more stable. There is a built-in temperature sensor for air pressure compensation. The ICP-10111 offers a temperature coefficient offset of ±0.5 Pa/°C, more stable for long-term use. The combination of high accuracy, low power, and temperature stability in a small footprint enables higher performance barometric pressure sensing for sports activity identification, mobile indoor/outdoor navigation, and altitude-hold in drones.

Took me a while to figure out how to do the I2C communication with this sensor (my first time using I2c), but it was worth the effort. The sensor works great and up to specs. I compared two different sensors from the batch of six I bought and the two agreed within specs for absolute accurate. The pressure measurements are extremely sensitive and can detect small changes (a few inches) in vertical position. I'm impressed.
