Has anyone connected a pressure sensor to the puck yet? Is it possible to solder a BMP180 to the actual board?

Hi,

Personally I haven't, but it should be pretty easy to connect as it's just an I2C device and it's already supported with a module: http://www.espruino.com/BMP085

Physically, you couldn't solder it direct unless you were willing to flip it on its back and do some very fine soldering (but that is possible!).

You could however solder a 4 wire breakout board on directly, for instance something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391797070903

The only gotcha is that the GND/VCC wires appear to be in a different order, but you could attach it to D28/D29/D30/D31 and power it straight from the GPIO.
