baro

The other is in a semi-watertight enclosure on the back porch taking readings from a BME280 temp/baro pressure/humidity sensor.

Baro is handy because you can take the absolute altitude from GPS as a low frequency baseline and use the baro for high frequency changes.

In cases of encoder failure being detected a flag is broadcast and the pressure aka baro altitude data field is set to all 0.

Airports should report baro pressure for standard baro altimeters.

If you have some mix of baro and GPS altitudes, you can no longer safely ensure separation.

The baro sensor is used to get a altitude lock for gps quicker.

I moved away from the 'Smartwatch' arena to the fitness watch (Suunto Baro or Garmin Fenix).

I really just use it to tell the time, see phone notifications as they arrive, altitude/baro/compass when outdoorsing, and for heart rate tracking.

Then when GPS says we teleported +200 feet when a new sat comes into view, we can temper that that with baro information.

- Auto landing is possible, but might be dangerous; The current systems (for example ArduPilot) use GPS and acc/baro/gyro/compasses to achieve autonomous flight.

There should be enough checks for setting the proper baro setting - both pilots check the setting individually when changing it and it's reported to them a number of times throughout descent.

Ah no problem nobody needs a baro on a humidor anyway, we'll just delete it from the marketing materials and remove it from the firmware, no need to e-cycle otherwise good first batch of boards.

Well if someone uploads custom firmware and the baro is polled every hour and it randomly jams the I2C once every hundred polls, "must be a thermal issue the CPU crashes" nobody might ever understand the problem.

Baro altimeters don’t tell you your height above the ground (or other obstruction).

Places like Xcentric Mold, Xometry, Fictiv, Baro, etc.
