nice to see that you have made exactly the same mistake like me. I have had a BMP280 sensor. But project Wemos D1 Mini - BME280 Weather Station needs BME280 sensor. So your video was realy helpful for me to understand the difference. Thank you for excelent explanation
Working on a ventilator for Covid19. Bme280 seems very affordable, would it measure pressures accurately that are involved w breathing? Need it sensitive enough to detect an inhalation (for assisted breathing) and measure pressure to not a damage the lungs.
Thank you also for putting up your code samples. Well commented, tested, samples are a gold mine. I do have to mention, however, that some of your code is in the wrong folders on dropbox.
Just checking out your channel, you got some nice videos. I just purchased a BME280 from Adafruit (almost bought the cheaper one without humidity)...hence arriving at this video.....keep up the good work! New sub.
Mike, Thanks for a nice explanation of the different parts and great breakdown of your code. I think your display is a Nokia but can you share the model/source for it? I want to build a dew controller for a telescope and was just look for parts when I found your RU-vid video. I need to make four PWM control loops that power heaters to avoid dew clouding up lens and mirrors. An Arduino Nano and these BME280 sensors and some drivers will make a perfect controller.
Thank you for demonstrating this. I think i was lucky and got a BME280 even though the eBay listing said BMP280 £1.99 ($2.56) as mine shows Temperature , Pressure and Humidity too. I had to change a few lines of your code because i am using an 1.3" OLED. Also had to change line number 32 in the Adafruit_BME280.h file to read #define BME280_ADDRESS (0x76) not (0x77) . Readings are now.. Temp: 74.89 F, Pres: 29.90 I, Hmdt: 64.94 %, D.P.: 62.00F I also removed the conversion from C to F as we use Centigrade and the pressure from I to hPa, basically just read data from the sensor with out any conversion. Readings are now.. Temp: 23.99 C, Pres: 1012.30 hPa, Hmdt: 63.22 %, D.P.:16.62 C (South coast of England)
learnelectronics I started with electronics back in the day when everything was discrete components, and transistors were pretty new. I could solder before I ever saw a keyboard, and made radios while I was at junior school. First used a computer in 1971, when I worked for IBM for a short time. Never saw the actual computer - it was in an air-conditioned building that only DP guys were allowed into...
I have recently become interested again in electronics after a long gap. Now I want to add monitoring to my beehives, so looking at Arduino etc and all the sensors that might be useful.
I came in right at the end of the valve/vacuum tube era, and never had much to do with them. My father, who has just turned 90, was an electronics engineer all his working life, and around 1954 built our very first TV from components, including winding the high voltage coils for the 9 inch CRT. Among other things, he worked in military communications in a joint project with the US Army during the 1970s and helped to develop the first ever PCM field telephone system.
Sorry gor the confusion, BMP Stands for B (osch) M (ems) P (ressure) and BME280 is the E (environmental ) sensor BME680 has eventuell 4 in 1 with Gas sensing
I would choose sensors without voltage regulator onboard over those that have. Measuring environment temperature with a voltage regulator near by that generates lots of heat sounds weird.
Zen Zen thanks I'm glad you liked it. new videos every day. I'm doing a review on the cheapest soldering station I could find right now. this weekend you can see: Chinese goodies, nodemcu setup, and more! 😀
My BME280 with has the SPI states that it can do all three, Pressure, Temp and Humidity. This is on the mask print of the PCB. So still confused. BTW, I have the BME/BMP 280 that you used in this setup.
I almost bought the BMP280 just now before watching you vid. Thanks, saved me time and money. Here's my question: can this be used on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ board? I'm doing atmospheric research (home-based scientist) and I have fought a losing battle with the DHT11. Garbage. I also have an Arduino Uno.Never used it before. I really need the same data you show in your video. I'm trying to predict when static electricity will occur. Second question: Can the data be sent to a MYSQL Dbase on my website? If you know how to do these things, please make a how to video. Thanks again.
VoeViking The IC's are 3.3V, but the boards from both Adafruit and DIYMall have a voltage regulator on board so you are good to go with a 5V Arduino.😀 Thanks for the question.
