Pressure Sensor Test

We will use an MPX5100A-ND analog pressure sensor to detect atmospheric pressure at the payload's location during its flight.  This pressure sensor sends a voltage corresponding to pressure to the Arduino, and should be supplied with 5V.

We used the setup below to test out pressure sensor.  We created code that would read in a voltage from pin A0 repeatedly.  The datasheet provided for teh MPX5100 series gave a function to interpret the voltage as a real pressure, which when applied, gave us a reading of 99 KPa, close to the 1 atm expected.
