Works great once configured
Took me a while to figure out the correct library settings for the specific chip version, but once running, the data precision is impressive for the price point.

Perfect for weather stations
This BME280 module works flawlessly with my ESP32 project. The readings are stable and match my professional weather station very closely. Setup was easy using standard libraries.

Reliable I2C communication
No issues with address conflicts or dropped packets. The dual interface (I2C/SPI) is a nice bonus if you run out of pins on your microcontroller.

Essential for climate monitoring
I bought five of these for my greenhouse automation system. They handle the humidity well and haven't drifted over the last three months of continuous operation.

Good value, minor soldering needed
The sensor itself is fantastic and accurate. Just note that you need to solder the header pins yourself, which is fine for me but might be tricky for absolute beginners.

Great altitude data
Using this for a DIY drone altimeter. The pressure sensitivity is excellent, providing smooth altitude changes without much noise. Highly recommended for aviation projects.
Q: Which library do you recommend for Python on Raspberry Pi?
A: We recommend the 'adafruit-circuitpython-bme280' library. It is well-maintained, easy to install via pip, and provides simple examples for getting started.
Q: Is the pin header included in the package?
A: Yes, a standard 8-pin male header strip is included in the package, though it is not pre-soldered to allow for flexible mounting options.
Q: Does this module work with 5V Arduino Uno boards directly?
A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator and level shifting, making it safe to use with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers like the Arduino Uno.
Q: Can this measure altitude accurately indoors?
A: While it can detect relative height changes (like climbing stairs), absolute altitude indoors can be affected by HVAC systems changing air pressure. It is best calibrated outdoors for sea-level reference.
Q: What is the default I2C address for this sensor?
A: The default I2C address is typically 0x76. However, some batches may come set to 0x77. You can check this by running an I2C scanner sketch.
