Bosch has stepped up their game with their BMP280 sensor, an environmental sensor with temperature, barometric pressure that is the next generation upgrade to the BMP085/BMP180/BMP183. This sensor is great for all sorts of weather sensing and can even be used in both I2C and SPI!
Input to the onboard regulator; Adafruit says power the breakout with 3-5VDC at the microcontroller logic level.
3.3V output from the onboard regulator; Adafruit says up to 100mA can be drawn.
Common ground for power and logic.
SPI clock input; also I2C clock line SCL according to the Adafruit pinout page.
SPI serial data out from the BMP280 to the processor.
