ICStation sent us a BMP-085 Barometric Pressure Sensor. This sensor is 5v friendly, and works with the common BMP-085 libraries that are available. We are using the same library and example code we used with the Adafruit BMP-180. See the Arduino Web Based Weather Server!
#include “Wire.h”
#include “Adafruit_BMP085.h”

This is an example for the BMP085 Barometric Pressure & Temp Sensor
