A microcontroller controlled altimeter includes a microcontroller, a digital altitude pressure sensor with a pressure indicating output coupled to the microprocessor, and at least one Form A solid state relay coupled to the microcontroller, where the microcontroller is configured to provide control signals to the at least one Form A solid state relay to provide an open circuit between normally open and common terminals of the at least one Form A solid state relay if the digital altitude pressure sensor output is less than, or equal to, a setpoint for the at least one Form A relay, and provide continuity between the normally open and common terminals of the at least one Form A solid state relay if the digital altitude pressure sensor output is greater than the setpoint for the at least one Form A relay.
A microcontroller controlled altimeter comprising:
A method of operating a microcontroller controlled altimeter comprising a microprocessor, a digital altitude pressure sensor with a pressure indicating output coupled to the microprocessor, and at least one Form A solid state relay coupled to the microprocessor, the method comprising:
