+# TinyGo Drivers
+
+[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/tinygo-org/drivers?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/tinygo-org/drivers)
+
+This package provides a collection of hardware drivers for devices that can be used together with [TinyGo](https://tinygo.org).
+
+## Installing
+
+```shell
+go get github.com/tinygo-org/drivers
+```
+
+## How to use
+
+Here is an example in TinyGo that uses the BMP180 digital barometer:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "time"
+
+    "machine"
+
+    "github.com/tinygo-org/drivers/bmp180"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    machine.I2C0.Configure(machine.I2CConfig{})
+    sensor := bmp180.New(machine.I2C0)
+    sensor.Configure()
+
+    connected := sensor.Connected()
+    if !connected {
+        println("BMP180 not detected")
+        return
+    }
+    println("BMP180 detected")
+
+    for {
+        temp, _ := sensor.Temperature()
+        println("Temperature:", float32(temp)/1000, "ºC")
+
+        pressure, _ := sensor.Pressure()
+        println("Pressure", float32(pressure)/100000, "hPa")
+
+        time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
+    }
+}
+```
+
