should baro glitch on EEPROM write?

Post by rubadub »

I wrote a question in the boards/hardware forum, but apparently no one monitors that.

I've got a CRIUS AIOP V2 board, and I'm noticing that the altitude from the baro sensor (MS5611) will temporarily spike in the GUI whenever a setting is written to EEPROM. This coincides with a short pause of the incoming serial data (graph & values appears to pause for about half a second).

Anyway, I'm wondering if this is normal "expected" behavior due to some issue with the sensor reads & timing during the EEPROM write, or if there's actually a voltage spike/drop during the EEPROM write that causes the baro to freak out on these CRIUS AIOP V2 boards (I've tested two and they both behave the same).

Any feedback would be appreciated. I can post a pic or vid if necessary...

eeprom write is slow, so we have it limited to unarmed state (maybe not with gui?) - then a baro glitch could be considered non-important.
eeprom write is exclusive in MWii, so pause of everything else is expected.
