32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm mpl115a
35.Nd Freescale MPL115A2 absolute pressure sensor driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "mpl115a* at iic? addr 0x60"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides support for the MPL115A2 pressure sensor.
42It allows reporting absolute pressure through the
43.Xr envsys 4
44API.
45.Sh SEE ALSO
46.Xr envsys 4
47.Sh HISTORY
48The
49.Nm
50device first appeared in
51.Nx 7.0 .
52.Sh AUTHORS
53.An -nosplit
54The
55.Nm
56driver was written by
57.An Radoslaw Kujawa Aq radoslaw.kujawa@gmail.com .
58The fixed-point pressure calculation algorithm was suggested by
59.An Matt Thomas .
60.Sh CAVEATS
61The MPL115A2 chip has an accuracy of +/- 1 kPa, which makes it not very useful
62for weather-related applications.
63.Pp
64The
65.Xr envsys 4
66API does not support pressure reporting yet, so the result is reported just as
67integer number.
