Is there a way (library) to use the piicodev bme280 inside an arduino sketch using ESP32 IoT

If you’re interested in using micropython for this purpose, you can see here: PiicoDev BME280 /ESP32 using MicroPython? - #34 by Liam

Thanks Rooppoor212784, I can get the ESP32 and PiicoDev BME280 to work with MictoPython, but I would like to use the Arduino IDE/C++ as the developing language.
With MicroPython I have problems seeing the BME280 data sent by urequests.post inside my server php file. The php gets the request but I haven’t been able to get the data yet. This I can do with Arduino libraries, so I must either work on the php/MicroPython data end, or find a library that will work under Arduino IDE and PiicoDev BME280.
I would like to get both ends to work as this would give more options for future development.
Thanks Robert

Hi Robert,

We provide and maintain a micropython library for all our PiicoDev modules but there isn’t anything about the hardware that locks you into micropython if you would like to break new ground with other languages. All the required pins are broken out and accessible and you may find other BME280 libraries work fine, we just don’t maintain a C++ library in-house.

If you do get the PiicoDev module running with the Arduino IDE we’d love to see your results.
