Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Booz Barometer R1, R2, and Rs Values?

[Jayson MacKiddie]

Hello Poine and David,

Thank you! Poine, do you have values for R38, R39, and R40 in the adjustable voltage referance circuit to the -VREF terminal of the ADC? Or do I need to determine an appropriate value according to the MPX 6115 output at our altitude. I'd be happy with a value you're using at the moment and we could tweak things once we get ourselves flying.

Regards,
Jay

Hello

There is a little scilab script  (
paparazzi4/trunk/hw/booz/baro_amp.sce ) which you can use to play with
the values of the resistors.

The values on the schematics, ie
 R10 = 27e3;
 R5  = 390;
 R6  = 12e3;
 R20 = 560;
 R21 = 680;
gives you an altitude range of -500m:930m ( with ground pressure at
1013 ) which is a bit silly

You might want to lower R20, for example
 R10 = 27e3;
 R5  = 390;
 R6  = 12e3;
 R20 = 220;
 R21 = 680;
gives you an altitude range of -380m to 1530m which is a bit better (
you want the negative value if you want to be able to fly at sea level
on a high pressure day )

There is a slightly better script in
paparazzi4/trunk/hw/lisa/pressure.sce which takes sea level pressure
into account ( the one in booz doesn't, feel free to improve it )

Regards

Poine
