I recently purchased the Arduino Yun and the BMP180 Barometric Pressure/Temperature/Altitude Sensor (BMP180 Barometric Pressure/Temperature/Altitude Sensor- 5V ready : ID 1603 : $9.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits) from Adafruit and was hoping to log some data and possibly push the data up to the cloud somewhere (TBD). However, I'm having trouble getting the sensor to work with the Yun. I've modified the code from the example given on the adafruit site for this sensor. The original code uses a Serial object to write data to the serial monitor. However, from what I understand, that isn't possible since I'm using Yun and connnected to it wirelessly. So instead, I'm using the Console object. When using the non-modified code from adafruit and instead connecting the sensor to an Arduino Uno, the sensor works perfectly. But when using my modified code on the Yun, it appears to get stuck when trying to check if the bmp sensor is running ( at this line: if(!bmp.begin())). Any thoughts? I'm probably overlooking the obvious. Here's my code:
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <Adafruit_BMP085_U.h>
#include <Console.h>
/* This driver uses the Adafruit unified sensor library (Adafruit_Sensor),
which provides a common 'type' for sensor data and some helper functions.
To use this driver you will also need to download the Adafruit_Sensor
library and include it in your libraries folder.
You should also assign a unique ID to this sensor for use with
the Adafruit Sensor API so that you can identify this particular
sensor in any data logs, etc. To assign a unique ID, simply
provide an appropriate value in the constructor below (12345
is used by default in this example).
Connections
===========
Connect SCL to analog 5
Connect SDA to analog 4
Connect VDD to 3.3V DC
