Overview
The Measurement Specialties MS5611 is an excellent barometer/pressure sensor. Currently a plastic case version (-01BA01) and a metal case version (-01BA03) exist, both with the same functionallity. The metal case was added since the values form the plastic one change under the influence of bright light. The sensor can be used as I2C or SPI device.
This page describes the connection through I2C. Note that the MS5611 mounted on the Aspirin V2.2 uses the SPI port, the Aspirin V2.1 still I2C
The device was tested in a simple static noise comparsion setup.
| Module name | sensors/baro_ms5611_i2c |
| Sensor type | barometer, temperature |
| Range (baro) | 10 kPa .. 1200 kPa |
| Range (temp) | -40°C .. +85°C |
| Resolution (baro) | 1.2 Pa |

Usage
To use it load the baro_ms5611_i2c module:
| File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml |
<modules>
...
<load name="baro_ms5611_i2c.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_ms5611_i2c.xml">
<define name="SENSOR_SYNC_SEND"/>
</load>
</modules>
|
Result message
The raw values (d1/d2) and the corrected ones (pressure/temp) are written to the log file.
| File: conf/messages.xml |
<message name="BARO_MS5611" id="116">
<field name="d1" type="uint32"/>
<field name="d2" type="uint32"/>
<field name="pressure" type="float" unit="hPa" format="%.2f"/>
<field name="temp" type="float" unit="deg_celsius" format="%.2f"/>
</message>
|
The sensors calibration values are read out at init time and transmitted every 30 seconds. They can be seen as some sort of unique serial number.

Altitude in Autopilot
If you want to use it for altitude estimation in the autopilot the following line needs to be added to your airframe file: <define name="USE_BARO_MS5611"/>
