BMP180 dual-purpose sensor

esp32-bmp180.jpg

This dual-purpose sensor is used to measure temperature and barometric pressure. It operates as an I2C slave device.

The actual sensor is tiny but a board is available from China with the I2C connections and power on a standard 0.1 inch header which makes it easily accessible.
