Using a BMP 388 to make a connection to a failsafe system for a surveillance drone.

How do I best use BMP 388 to make a connection to a maximum altitude failsafe system for a surveillance drone.

Hello APC,

BMP388 provided  digital pressure value, which can be converted into height. Application software limit maximum height.

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.

BMP388 has operating range of 300hPa ~ 1250hPa which corresponds to 10km or 30000feet above sea level ~ -1.8km or -5926feet below sea level. Please describe a little more about what you want to achieve with BMP388 in your surveillance drone application.

Thanks.

Thank you for your time and for your reply. I am looking for advice for circuitry diagrams that will allow me to trigger a switch or RC signal when a critical altitude is reached by the surveillance drone, either to return to base or hold altitude. Perhaps the BMP 388 is not the appropriate sensor.

Hello APC,

Please refer BMP388 circuitry diagrams from data sheet.
