We were tasked by our Private Investigator of the Atmosphere Team to sample the atmospheric pressure. We searched the vast internet and were able to find a suitable sensing device, cheap enough, small enough, and compatible with our CanSat. The PX-40 from Omega.com is very tiny, the size of a small postage stamp. It weighs only 5 grams and can be easily installed on any vector board, as you can see with its 6pin DIP IC format. The PX-40 is fully temperature compensated for the range of 0°C to 70 °C.
