PiicoDev Atmospheric Sensor BME280 - Raspberry Pi Guide

Hi All,

Sorry about the delay in updates, moving warehouse put quite a few projects on the backburner.

I’ve got a test-setup running now, 3 x TMP’s, 3 x BME’s (one being the oldest I could find from our on hand kit), and an SHT40 + SHT41 (much better sentiment around the net).
All of the other sensors are straight from stock, with the last production run being completed in January this year.

I didn’t want to revive other topics, but this reply from @Oliver33 got me thinking:

These sensors are likely used inside other Bosch units (dishwashers, washing machines etc) where the compartment its located in does not require a super super accurate temperature measurement.

The Nano Power Timer is set for a 10 minute interval.

Once a month or two have passed I’ll circle back, upload the measurements.

Regardless, I propose a couple of fixes depending on the outcome of my test and everyone’s observations:

  1. Rework the driver to include an offset based on a combination of our data.
  2. Develop a new module around another sensor, the SHT4x series looks good at a glance
    Does the lack of pressure sensor deter anyone from purchasing these modules?

PS: please let me know if you like the look of the platform its all mounted on.

Liam
