[x] design and document subcircuit. Add to master.
[ ] using relevant subcircuit, demo sensor alone, verify accuracy
[ ] Demo operating next to other sensors while logging to sd card compatible with desired logging speed, reverify accuracy.
[ ] Implement code into the master program on a unique git branch, retest and reverify, then merge into the master project branch.

The BMP183 we found in the lab works great! Lets use this as a backup/redundancy for our absolute pressure sensor.

I stole the altimeter and tested it. Temp appears to be the same temp as another thermometer says in my room, and the ATM reported is 0.96, almost 1. So it's looking decently accurate. I dunno if this needs any more configuration or whether or not the altitude is different from GPS by very much.
