  2. Have a look at the code in this post:

    I got my BMP085 working using the sparkfun code... you could check that you're using the right voltage levels on the I2C bus (the BMP085 runs on 3V3, not 5V) but unless the chip is fried it should work at 5V.

    Not sure what else to suggest without seeing the circuit or code you're using, other than to get rid of everything but the BMP085 and code and use the serial print to check through each stage of the I2C comms with the BMP085 :-]
