Feel the pressure – measure height with the ENS220

Height measurement with the ENS220 barometric temperature sensor

Imagine achieving precise height measurements down to mere centimetres with minimal power consumption. The ENS220 pressure sensor makes this possible, revolutionizing how we leverage barometric pressure variations. This sensor offers significant advantages for key applications currently trending in the market, including:

  • Altitude control for drones, ensuring stable flight and safe operation of unmanned aerial vehicles.
  • Wearable devices for tracking physical activities, allowing fitness trackers and health monitors.
  • Robotic and industrial applications with inertial sensors, enabling precise movement control in robotics and automation.
  • Warehouse goods localization, optimizing inventory management in storage facilities.
  • Indoor localization, providing accurate positioning for indoor navigation and smart buildings.

Given the proportionality between barometric pressure and altitude above sea level, pressure allows us to calculate height. However, factors like temperature changes, weather changes and even simple actions like opening a door, can cause significant fluctuations in environmental pressure. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for precise height measurements. ScioSense’s newly released Application Note guides you through calculating height based on pressure, exploring different configurations for measuring absolute height or height changes, and addressing potential disruptions with effective strategies.

Our application note describes sensor configurations in detail and helps you to find the right configuration for your specific application, whether you want to use one or two sensors. Together with our design guidelines this will help you to unleash the full potential of the ENS220.

In a world where precision is key, the ENS220 pressure sensor delivers unmatched performance. Whether used as a stand-alone solution or combined with other technologies, it enhances accuracy, efficiency, and reliability across various high-tech applications. Embrace the power of the ENS220 and elevate your projects to the next level!
