# poking at https://github.com/alexdean/Adafruit_Python_BMP/blob/master/Adafruit_BMP/BMP085.py#L191
pressures = [101325.00, 22632.10, 5474.89, 868.02, 110.91, 66.94, 3.96]
for pressure in pressures:
print(str(pressure) + "Pa == " + str(read_altitude(pressure)) + "m")
101325.0 Pa == 0.0m
22632.1 Pa == 11001.3837842 m
5474.89 Pa == 18889.2981019 m
868.02 Pa == 26410.6400892 m
110.91 Pa == 32216.1353848 m
66.94 Pa == 33325.9162641 m
3.96 Pa == 37904.9948120 m
