Overview
The VTI SCP1000-D01 (SPI) is a barometer/pressure sensor. Unfortunately this device is no longer being produced.
The corresponding I2C device was tested in a simple static noise comparsion setup.
| Module name | sensors/baro_scp |
| Sensor type | barometer, temperature |
| Range (baro) | 30kPa .. 120kPa |
| Range (temp) | -30°C .. +85°C |
| Resolution (baro) | 0.25Pa |
| Resolution (temp) | 0.05°C |
| Refresh rate | 1.8Hz |
Hardware
The sensor directly interfaces to the 3.3V SPI port of the autopilots and is supplied by +3.3V.
Wiring
| Autopilot SPI pin | Autopilot SPI | VTI SCP1000 SPI |
| 1 | GND | GND |
| 2 | +3.3V | 3.3V |
| 3 | SSEL | CSB |
| 4 | MOSI | MOSI |
| 5 | MISO | MISO |
| 6 | SCK | SCK |
| 7 | DRDY | DRDY |
Usage
To use it load the baro_scp module:
| File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml |
<modules>
...
<load name="baro_scp.xml"/>
</modules>
|
Configuration
To see the sensors data in the log file set the SENSOR_SYNC_SEND in your airframe file. Every time new data is available it will be sent directly.
| File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml |
<modules>
...
<load name="baro_scp.xml">
<define name="SENSOR_SYNC_SEND"/>
</load>
</modules>
|
Result message
There is no conversion needed so the raw data is output, the pressure is given in 1/100 of Pascal.
| File: conf/messages.xml |
