Feature request: ambient pressure logging

[Mornemont]

Hello,

For the next version would it be possible to implement a barometer?

The idea is to log the ambient pressure in a table when the computer is in sleep mode and to show a graph of its evolution accessible in the surface menu. This is quite useful to predict the weather during expeditions and it seems not too complicated to develop.

I think a sample every 2 hours during 5 days is enough.

Hi,

the OSTC is already monitoring the ambient pressure when in sleep mode all the time, i believe every couple of minutes.
To fulfill your request they just need to implement a display for this already existing monitoring.

Hi,

That’s why I said it should be easy. The implementation is limited to logging this data somewhere during sleep mode only (not too much work load for the PIC), displaying it and add this in the menu.
I was thinking about a frequency of 1 data every 2 hours for 5 days, which represents 60 time two bytes for the pressure and some for the time. This is less than a dive. Maybe 1 data per hour or half hour is still not too much for the memory?

Hello,

A nice idea, we'll keep that in mind. Primary use should be a dive computer and not a weather forecast machine. But this is, indeed, very easy to implement.
