subject: BMP180 barometric sensor

Hello all,

I've bought myself a BMP180 sensor exactly like shown here :
https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2015/04/bmp180-i2c-digital-barometric-pressur
e-sensor/

The problem is that my RPi, using "i2cdetect -y 1" doesn't seem to detect
it.  The RTC connected at the same time does show up though (meaning: I2C is
enabled and working).

I've tried to power the BMP board thru both the "3.3" as well as the "vcc"
connections (with 3.3 volts) (not at the same time), checked the electrical
connections from the boards header to the other side of the cable, tried
with and without the RTC and even swapped "sdl" and "sda" to see if that
would make a change.  Nothing worked. :-(

Any idea what might be going on, or should I consider it DOA ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
