Hi,
I have the BME280:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13676
I hooked it up to an Arduino Uno and let it run for 24 hours.
The altitude started at 129 meters. 24 hours later, it showed the altitude as 164 meters, a delta of 35 meters in that 24 hour period.
Apparently a storm rolled through our area and that could/would change the temperature and pressure.
From what I have read, the altitude is calculated from the air pressure.
Question:
Assuming that it makes sense for the altitude to change throughout the day, what can I use the altitude measurement for?
Thanks,
Bill
