    Delay on BMP280 due to wrong calibrated pressure?

    Delay on BMP280 due to wrong calibrated pressure?

    Hello. I have recently fould a software error in my TVC model rockets' software stemming from outdated pressure values from the bmp280 sensor. I made a function that would dynammically calculate the altitude so that I didn't half to change the calibration pressure every time we launched. Therefore, I haven't changed the calibrated pressure since the first launch. That function works fine, But I was wondering if outdated/wrong calibration pressure could cause delayed pressure readings. 

    Thanks.

    Hi rocketMan,

    According your description, do you mean your product is military product?

    Hello!

    To answer your question, nope, It's not. A few years ago I decided to learn about electronics and Arduino. This was really fun,  but then I stumbled upon a YouTuber called BPS.space. He makes advanced model rockets and I thought I could do that. Two years later and I've made my own flight computer! This project has nothing to do with military hardware and it's only a fun engineering challenge. And that's where it ends.

    Hi rocketMan,

    According to your description, we did not understand what the problem you encountered was. Can you describe it again?
