Hello; Really like this tutorial. One thing you might consider is: obtaining the sealevel pressure from the web as this changes frequently. here is an example of a link to the information: “https://api.weather.gov/stations/KTLH/observations/latest?require_qc=true”
This returns a json table with the data in it. I’m working on this and having trouble parsing the table. Maybe you can figure this out. The link above is just one example provoded by the State of Florida. Maybe other States have similar services.

Hi.
We have a tutorial about I2C that explains how to use multiple sensors.
This might be useful: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-i2c-communication-arduino-ide/
If you don’t have pins available, you can use an I2C multiplexer: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/tca9548a-i2c-multiplexer-esp32-esp8266-arduino/

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Sara

I hope you’re doing well. I want to use multiple BME280 sensors with an M5Stack Basic for a project I’m working on. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations on how to best implement this setup? Specifically, I’m interested to programmatically enable I2C pull-up resistors on the board. Will it work? Additionally, if you have any tips on ensuring reliable data readings, that would be incredibly helpful (I am planning on recording data for every 10 seconds using Ambient cloud service).

Additionally, the BMP280 restricts what you can calculate, whilethe BME280 allows you to calculate dew point and humidex (feels like) temperatures. I bought BME280s from Amazon and received BMP280s instead. Had one soldered in place before I discovered the issue. Wish the boards were marked clearly.

I also recommend taking a look at this article: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/solved-could-not-find-a-valid-bme280-sensor/

Hi.
Run an I2C scanner sketch to make sure of the I2C address of your sensor: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-i2c-communication-arduino-ide/#2

Hi Giambattista,
I am having the same problem too. I even changed the sensor but nothing happened. Have you solved the problem?
Thank you.
Massimo

Cheers

I created the symbol and footprint myself. KiCAD is actually very easy to work with. I found a site that had the dimensions of the BME280 6-pin module, but it didn’t sound right. So.. I measured the module and found the dimensions listed on the site (not this site) were wrong. Moral of the story is — I could have measured it and created the symbol and footprint way faster than the time I wasted wondering where I could find an already-created symbol.
