[Request] [Jolla Tablet] Air pressure sensor and thermometer ? [answered]
asked 2014-11-19 16:44:44 +0200
Doe the Jolla tablet have an air pressure sensor and/or a thermometer ? While the specs page does not list it in the (very brief BTW) official sensor listing, it would be nice to have as it much improves current altitude & lift/sink rate detection in comparison to only using GPS data for this. It should be also very easy & cheap to add, if it already is not part of one of the all-in-in sensor chips used.
Possible use cases:
- recording tracklogs with precise altitude information in aircraft (gliders), when biking or hiking
- rudimentary backup variometer for gliders :)
- rudimentary low altitude/high sinkrate warning
- rudimentary weather forecasting (measuring air pressure tendency)
- taking part in smartphone based weather forecasting networks
- another data source for inertial navigation
