I Need Help Selecting parts

Post by Sm11y456 »

I am currently doing a school project for an engineering class as a highschooler. I would like to use a micro controller to display Altitude, Pressure, and Temp (from my understanding these sensors are called bmp's). I would like to only have to rely on STEMMA QT / Qwiic cords, and would like to have to do as little soldering as possible. Seeing as this is for a school project, it would be helpful if the parts were cheap, small, and work as battery powered. Any help with picking out good parts for this project would be much appreciated.

The long form is Barometric Pressure Sensors. We have them here, and many have been updated for STEMMA connections:

You'll need a microcontroller, and our Feather boards are designed to run from battery power:

You won't need anything fancy, so an M0 Basic would probably be a good choice:

That board doesn't have a built-in STEMMA connector, but this add-on board does, and also has an OLED you can use to display your readings:
