Strange Barometer behaviour

I've had a chance to quickly go through the various available firmwares. The readings are plausible up to and including 1.0, but broken from 1.1 through 1.12. MD5 (flotilla-dock-010.hex) =...

motor changes direction, which still indicates a problem with the output chip?

yes, we're very much on the case. and for info, the IC in the Barometer module is the BMP280.
