BME280 Temperature Sensor Module

BME 280 Temperature Sensor Module

This BME280 Sensor Breakout is the easy way to measure barometric pressure, humidity, and temperature readings all without taking up too much space. Basically, anything you need to know about atmospheric conditions you can find out from this tiny breakout. The BME280 Breakout has been designed to be used in indoor/outdoor navigation, weather forecasting, home automation, and even personal health and wellness monitoring. The on-board BME280 sensor measures atmospheric pressure from 30kPa to 110kPa as well as relative humidity and temperature.

This bme280 sensor uses an environmental sensor manufactured by Bosch with temperature, a barometric pressure sensor that is the next generation upgrade to the popular BMP085/BMP180/BMP183 Sensor. This bme 280 sensor is great for all sorts of weather sensing and can even be used in I2C interface. This precision sensor from Bosch is the best low-cost, precision sensing solution for measuring barometric pressure with ±1 hPa absolute accuracy, and temperature with ±1.0°C accuracy. Because pressure changes with altitude and the pressure measurements are so good, you can also use it as an altimeter with ±1 meter accuracy.

The BME280 is the next-generation of sensors from Bosch, and is the upgrade to the BMP085/BMP180/BMP183 - with a low altitude noise of 0.25m and the same fast conversion time. It has the same specifications but can use either I2C or SPI. For simple easy wiring, go with I2C. If you want to connect a bunch of sensors without worrying about I2C address collisions, go with SPI.

Features:

• Multi-functional Sensor: Measures temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.
  
• High Accuracy: Temperature accuracy of ±1°C, humidity accuracy of ±3%RH, and pressure accuracy of ±1 hPa.
  
• Wide Measurement Range: Temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, humidity range from 0% to 100% RH, and pressure range from 300 hPa to 1100 hPa.
  
• Compact Size: Small 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.93 mm package.
  
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for low power consumption, making it ideal for battery-operated devices.
  
• Communication Protocols: Supports both I2C and SPI communication protocols for easy integration with microcontrollers.
  
• Altitude Calculation: Can indirectly calculate altitude using atmospheric pressure.

Applications:

• Context awareness, e.g. skin detection, room change detection
• Fitness monitoring/well-being
• Warning regarding dryness or high temperatures Measurement of volume and airflow
• Home automation control
• Control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
• Internet of things
• GPS enhancement (e.g. time-to-first-fix improvement,dead reckoning, slope detection)
• Indoor navigation (change of floor detection, elevator detection)
• Outdoor navigation, leisure and
• Weather forecast
• Sports applications
