The digital altimeter: article / Sariana Safian

This paper presents the design and construction of an altimeter to indicate height which is used for trips, hiking, biking and other hobbies. It can also be used for determining the altitude of an aircraft, jet fighter and missile. This paper will also discuss on the theories related to altitude with respect lo pressure as well as lhe architecture of the altimeter's circuit hardware. The hardware construction section of this paper will explain on the processes included to select the circuit hardware, characteristics of the circuit, as well as the processes involved in the design and construction of the circuit. Simulation software MPLAB C Compiler is used to compile the program while Protel DXP 2004 is used to design the PCB schematic in which are also discussed in this paper.
