Connecting BME280 to Arduino Nano

This video demonstrates the physical connections required to interface the BME280 sensor with an Arduino Nano Every using I2C communication. Pay close attention to the VCC, GND, SDA, and SCL pins.

Connecting BME280 to Raspberry Pi

This video illustrates the physical connections for integrating the BME280 sensor with a Raspberry Pi, specifically using GPIO2 and GPIO3 for I2C communication. Ensure proper wiring to avoid damage.

Configuración do software

The kit requires software setup using the Arduino IDE or Python for Raspberry Pi. Detailed tutorials are available to guide you through the process, including library installation and code examples.

1. Instalar o IDE de Arduino: Download and install the Arduino IDE from the official websitio.
2. Board Manager: Install the necessary board packages for your ESP8266 module (e.g., ESP8266 boards by ESP8266 Community).
3. Library Manager: Install the 'Adafruit BME280 Library' and its dependencies. This library simplifies reading data from the sensor.
4. Carga ExampCódigo: Open the 'BME280test' example from the Adafruit BME280 Library. You may need to adjust the I2C address (0x76 or 0x77) in the code to match your specific sensor.
5. Cargar bosquexo: Connect your ESP8266 module to your computer and upload the modified sketch.
