“Excellent sensor. Works fine but the code you find on-line stops it working. Ignore the “if” set of code and go straight to reading temperature, pressure and altitude.”
Ahoy and sorry to hear that - if the code you're having problems with is from one of our repos please could you drop us an email to support@pimoroni.com or (even better) open up an issue on the relevant Github issue, so we can get it fixed up?
“Like many I saw the price and ordered, thinking I was getting the BME280 - however that's my fault for a failure to read. I actually have 2 of these and there is a quite a variance in the pressure sensor between the 2. My cheap ebay versions of the same thing and BME280 seem to be closer matched. Maybe I have a suspect device?.”
“Loving the breakout garden range - makes prototyping so quick and easy. This BMP280 is a simple and easy to use sensor for accurate monitoring of temperature and pressure. Using it and a few other breakout garden boards with a Pi Pico on the explorer base in both C and Micropython has been really simple and great fun.”
“At the end of the day if you want guaranteed performance. Buy from these guys.
You buy, it arrives quickly, you solder, it works first time.
What more is there to say.”
