Product information "SparkFun pressure sensor breakout, MS5803-14BA"

This is the MS5803-14BA pressure sensor breakout, a high-resolution pressure sensor with an I2C and SPI interface. This MEMS pressure sensor measures the absolute pressure of the fluid around it, which includes air, water and anything else that behaves like a viscous fluid. Depending on how you interpret the data, you can determine altitude, water depth or other tasks that require accurate pressure measurement. What makes the MS5803-14BA unique is the gel diaphragm and anti-magnetic stainless steel cap that protects against 30 bar water pressure.

We've broken out all the pins you need, including GND and 3.3V for power, SDA/SDI and SCL/SCLK for an I2C interface, and SD0, AD/CS and PS for an SPI interface. The MS5803-14BA breakout offers a resolution range of 1 / 0.6 / 0.4 / 0.3 / 0.2 mbar. Note that a little soldering between the solder pads is required to switch between I2C and SPI interfaces; see the connection instructions below for more information.

Warning! Whilst the IC is capable of outputting data via I2C and SPI, the Arduino library and example has been written for I2C output only! You will need to modify the jumpers on the board for SPI mode by removing the solder from the jumper pads for the pull-up resistors and closing the other two jumpers. Additionally, you will need to write a library to communicate with the MS5803 in SPI mode if you plan to use this with Arduino.

Safety instructions
  • Only operate the sensor with the specified operating voltage to avoid damage and danger.
  • Avoid contact with water unless the product is expressly labelled as waterproof or watertight.
  • Protect the sensor from mechanical impacts such as knocks or bumps.
  • Do not open, modify or disassemble without authorisation, as this may impair the function and cause hazards.
  • Connection should only be carried out by qualified personnel to prevent incorrect wiring.
  • Ensure that the sensor is suitable for the measured pressure ranges to avoid overloading.
  • Remove the sensor from the system if it is defective to prevent consequential damage.
  • Disconnect the electrical connections before disposal and treat the device as electronic waste in accordance with the applicable disposal regulations.
  • Properly recycle packaging materials to minimise environmental impact.
  • Do not dispose of improperly, e.g. in household waste.
