Description

Use this breakout to monitor every aspect of your indoor environment. Its gas resistance readings will react to changes in volatile organic compounds and can be combined with humidity readings to give a measure of indoor air quality.

Want to get an idea of whether there’s adequate ventilation in your bedroom, your workshop, or workplace? Set up a BME680 on a Pi Zero W and have it log sensor readings to a file, or stream live data to a web service like adafruit.io or freeboard.io.

Features

  • Bosch BME680 temperature, pressure, humidity, air quality sensor
  • I2C interface, with address select via ADDR solder bridge (0x76 or 0x77)
  • 3.3V or 5V compatible
  • Raspberry Pi-compatible pinout (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
  • Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
  • Python library
  • Datasheet

Kit includes

  • BME680 breakout
  • 1×5 male header
  • 1×5 female right angle header

This breakout board is designed so that you can solder on the piece of right angle female header and pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi’s GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 9). The right angle header also has the advantage of positioning the breakout away from the Pi’s CPU so as to minimise radiated heat.

Software

As well as the C library provided by Bosch, there is a Python library (with a quick and painless one-line-installer) to use with your BME680, making it straightforward to combine it with our other boards.

Software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.

Notes

  • In our testing, it has been found that the sensor requires some burn-in time (at least 20 minutes) and that readings may take a couple of minutes to stabilise after beginning measurements
  • The solder pads (marked ADDR) can be bridged to change the I2C address from the default of 0x76 to 0x77, meaning that you can use up to two sensors on the same Raspberry Pi or Arduino
  • Dimensions: 26×15.5x3mm (LxWxH)
