I tested the sensor with the Adafruit BME085 library but I wasn’t getting any readings

I installed the AdafruitBMP085 library instead and got readings using this example ( paste code here Anna )

Calibration

I want to map the readings I get from the sensorValue = bmp.readAltitude(102675);

tests and potential calibration modes

• The real altitude readings that I am getting are not consistent therefore not accurate. Their range varies from 112.00 meters when the sensor is on the floor level ( 0.00m) to 114.68 m ( when the sensor is at 1.50m meters )

readings from testing it 1. floor level 2. on the desk 3. above the desk

Then I decided to calibrate the sensor when :

1. the sensor is on the minimum catching point aka floor level
2. the sensor is at the highest catching point aka extended hands of the player above head..
