I have a BMP180 sensor tied to an Arduino Pro Mini, but having trouble finding basic code that interprets the BMP data into actual altitude data for the Arduino, any programmers out there that could help?

I use 'Processing', the open source platform, a Java-like syntax, pretty easy to pick up. There are good BMP180 libraries out there - when I get home I will dig them up on my home laptop. I have a BMP180 and an Arduino Uno, code should be compatible.

Adafruit and Sparkfun both have Arduino libraries for this sensor.

What Alex said - the Sparkfun library is the one I used and adapted to get my BMP180 to work.

rofl -- I guess using the Intel Edison for deployment is somewhat overpowered ... but at least I don't have to optimize the kalman filter.....
