Today I have successfully interfaced an MPX4115A pressure sensor to my Arduino board. The MPX4115A is an analog pressure sensor that outputs an analog voltage proportional with the pressure. The setup is the same as the previous one with the TMP102 temperature sensor; I just added the pressure sensor, a few decoupling capacitors and connected it to an analog input of the Arduino board.
Between 0° and 85° C the output voltage scales linearly with the pressure and the temperature error is negligible. Thus, calculating the pressure from the voltage is very simple according to the formula given in the data sheet. You can see the formula on the figure below.
