Works fine using the Adafruit_BME280.h and Adafruit_Sensor.h libraries. Needs a little calibration on humidity I think but I need to check against something I can confirm is accurate also I need to compare the pressure reading But otherwise the temperature is spot on with. I happy with it.

The sensor is excellent, and when combined with the on-board level shifter it is so easy to interface to a standard 5V microprocessor. Since I was working with a home designed AT Mega 644 board, I had to write the sensor drivers myself and download suitable I2C drivers, which turned out to be pretty straight forward as all the information is in the datasheet including the algorithms for deriving pressure, temperature and humidity. I've also designed and printed a small enclosure for it since it is external to the main board.

Really nice to solder the headers to compared to some other manufacturers' boards. Simple to setup and use with Adafruit's CircuitPython library.

Being located in the States. I have found most things for Raspberry Pi are easier found and acquired here at Pimoroni; than wasting my time scouring the local internet. Local prices too have become a factor, as supposed supply shortages, here in the States, have increased customer gouging for Pi boards and peripherals. In many cases, even with shipping costs, it’s less expensive, with more prompt/excellent service, ordering from Pimoroni. Thanks, I bought two (2) for my greenhouse...they work great with the Pi Zero W's. You guy’s are the best!

These sensors work as they should, I couldn't find how to access specific addresses using the pimoroni python library examples but a search led me to install the RPi.bme280 libràry (sudo pip install RPi.bme280) and I was able to read from two dme280 sensors connected in parallel using addresses 0x76 and 0x77.

Problems with the 1st reading ALWAYS the same, had to get tech help with this but ended up with my own "hack" solution, viz - take 3 readings in a While loop & use the 3rd. (No such problem with the BME680 though)
