Problem with 29124 altimeter module

RS_Jim

Hi all
I am starting the module with the following code:

  bar.start(bar#MOBO_B, bar#BACKGROUND)   'pins connected to 4,5
  bar.set_altitude(bar.m_from_ft(181700))    'local altitude is 1817 feet

where bar represents the obj bar : "29124_altimeter"
the temperature reading appears to be close but I am getting a barometer reading of 38.71 inches of hg.
I just recently downloaded the altimeter object from obex. the chip itself is the MS5607.

any ideas?

Have you tried the code from here

Or this code?

Hi Genetix
Thanks for reply. I went back to obex and down loaded latest version, I got results that worked!
