Arduino altimeter

SETUP
I have added a GY-87 module to the Freetronics EtherTen (arduino with Ethernet & micro SD) on the back of a mini bread board.  powered off the car's cigarette lighter (5v 500ma) via USB plug in.

AIM
I'm using it to measure altitude and am exploring it's use to calculate HGL (hydraulic gradient lines) in water supply zones.

The aim is to drive & log altitude to the micro SD card, then map it back on the PC.

DEVELOPMENT
In the future I'll use the accelerometer in the GY-87 to display g-forces & log them, perhaps as a racing aid?  Not bloody likely in the PT!
