Has anyone had problems with the pressure readings from the bmp581?
I am getting reading in the region of 76251.00 Pa . I am only 36 meters above sea level and expecting reading of around 100700Pa with current local weather.
I am running the bmp581 via quiik cable from an addafruit qtpy (samd21) with example code from the sparkfun libaray.

Thank you for response
your link to the equations and pressure conversions would require correct absolute pressure readings to produce meaningful height data (altitude).
as the BMP581 is not reporting correct absolute pressure data anywhere in the ball park , I can only conclude that the sensor is faulty.
