MS5607 Product details

iseries

I purchased one of these units about a year ago and was trying to get it to work using C code instead of spin.

I was very disappoint to find out that no documentation was available about the actual specification of the chip used on the site.

I just recently got back to this project and was able to put together some C code to read this chip and had to find my own documentation.
Without it reverse engineering the spin code was not working out.

Most of not all the other sensors that you sell you have a link to the chip documentation. What's with the MS5607?

I do see from other post that this is not the easiest chip to figure out. That said, if you want people to use it you should at least document it.

Also the i2c examples in the learn lab are far to simple and don't go into sending commands and reading registers.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention; several downloads apparently did not transition properly to the new website and weren't posted as they should have been.

On the product page you should now find a download for the datasheet and a pdf collection of C code provided by the manufacturer.

Of course, like any self respecting engineer you could Google the part number and see what comes up... And the datasheet shows up on the first results page. That has everything that you need to know about it.
