State: open

Current Pressure reading at my location is 25.54 in/hg.
Converts to 86488 Pa
These readings are from a weather station on my property. I can provide the CWOP data QC validation if required.

Using the AdaFruit-BMP085-Library, I get the following readings

Temperature = 18.60 *C
Pressure = 233247 Pa
Altitude = -7622.78 meters
Real altitude = -7605.38 meters

Temperature is correct, but it seems as if the pressure calcs are quite a bit off. I've substituted code from another library and am able to get a close match on the pressure, so i'm pretty sure its not the chip.

Thanks in advance for your help!
