Section 23.7 Assignment
For this assignment you are to wire up the external pressure sensor and get data from it. You need to mount the CPX/CPB and the pressure sensor to some sort of hard surface so that when you move the CPX/CPB the pressure moves as well. In order to get the pressure to change significantly you’ll need to change your altitude by a lot. My recommendation is to ride the elevator of a tall building or drive up a really big hill. If you have the ability to do so, place the sensor in a rocket or an airplane!
