💧 Arduino library for Bosch Sensortec BME280 – combined temperature, pressure, humidity sensor. The library allows using the sensor over I2C or SPI on any board that supports Arduino.

arduino-bme280's Issues

Set a specific (setting) parameter, starting from a factory preset

Hello, thanks for the library.

Let's say I want to set the BME280 in Forced mode, while all other settings I would take from the "indoor" preset.
How would I do that, is there an example? Only found examples about enabling one of the presets (Settings.ino) as is.
Thanks

Code is locked in setup if sensor is not present at boot time

Hi!

I just used this library and if sensor is not connected at boot time, then program stays in setup in an infinite loop.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Wire.begin(D2, D1);

  Serial.println();

  sensor.begin(Bme280TwoWireAddress::Primary);  <---- here
  sensor.setSettings(Bme280Settings::indoor());
}

Bme280.cpp:

  while (isImUpdate()) {   <--- because of this
    delay(20);
  }

I fixed it by changing with:

 isImUpdate();

Is this code lock done intentionally or is it just a mistake?

Thank you, regards,
Peter

Feature request: check if sensor is present

Hello,
using BME280 in I2C with ESP32. Arduino IDE 1.8.19, latest Arduino-ESP32 core (2.0.14).

Even if no sensor is attached I can call sensor.begin(), setSettings(), getTemperature() etc.: I can't seem to have a way to tell if a sensor is actually present/working.

It would be nice to have for, example, begin() returning false if the BME280 is not attached or not responding.
Or maybe it already works this way, but I cannot find the API documentation so I don't know if begin() returns something.

Thanks for reading.
