Really nice and accurate (especially the current air pressure, which is - for certain reasons - one of my main interests) breakout! Easy to install and use within my Python scripts. I have already 4 of them within my home automation system :-) Btw, I just found the Golang programming language which really rouse my apetit to make faster code (instead of my Python scripts ). I really would appreciate, if Pimoroni could provide us - "Raspberry newbies" - Golang libraries for these fine breakouts, too (please!).

Love the BME680. Very easy to install and the Example files are great for getting started. Have found out from this Pimoroni Forum post : https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/bme680-air-quality-low/6293/9 that the whole AQ subject is very complex, however It's a really interesting topic and one that I am looking forward to understanding better! I'd assumed that it was only detecting VOCs (volatile organic compounds) but there's a hint that it might be detecting other gases. (I'm using a Breakout Garden pHAT with PiZero W, BME680 and 11x7 matrix to show an AQ score.)

Love this in combination with a breakout garden pHAT. Had it up and running in no time. Indoor air quality went down from ~99 to ~55 when I put acetone nail varnish remover near it. Result! Installation was easy. Now to code a display to show the results.

Plug and play! Had it up and running right away. Calibration was easy and documentation wasn't cryptic. I need more.

I love the "form-factor" of the breakouts. The sensor as such is superb.

The board is really easy to work with. Suggestion for improvements: * Guide/docs about using tool "i2cdetect" to figure out if device can be detected.
