Hi,
I'm trying to use an ms5541-cm sensor with an arduino uno. I'm new to the forum, and would really appreciate some help.
I used the code from -
godo:
Hi all,
I wrapped up the code and commented it out. To close the case I will post a sketch to read out all calibration words and one which shows how to include the extracted calibration factors into a sketch to avoid reading these constants all the time while using the sensor in whatever application.
MS5541_read_all.pde
/*
MS5541 Pressure Sensor calwords readout
This program will read your MS5441 or compatible pressure sensor every 5 seconds and show you the calibration words, the calibration factors,
the raw values and the compensated values of temperature and pressure.
Once you read out the calibration factors you can define them in the header of any sketch you write for the sensor.
Pins:
MS5541 sensor attached to pins 10 - 13:
MOSI: pin 11
MISO: pin 12
SCK: pin 13
MCLK: pin 9
CS is not in use, but might be pin 10
created August 2011
by SMStrauch based on application note AN510 from www.intersema.ch (http://www.meas-spec.com/downloads/Using_SPI_Protocol_with_Pressure_Sensor_Modules.pdf),
and with help of robtillaart and ulrichard. Thanks!

PS: Un-voided the resetsensor call as of today, Nov 25 2011.
But the calibration values keep fluctuating, and so do compensated temperature and pressure values.
