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.

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.
