Review on 🌑️ Advanced Onyehn BME280 Temp/Humidity/Pressure Sensor Module - I2C Compatible for Arduino (Pack of 2) by John Miranda

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It copes with its task, but there are stupid design solutions on the board

My new favorite THP sensor. It's very easy to get started with the Raspberry Pi using the Adafruit_CircuitPython_BME280 library, but if you don't want to solder, note that you'll need to manually set the I2C address to 0x76 as these products come pre-configured for address 0x76, but Adafruit's default product is 0x77. i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA) bme280 = adafruit_bme280.Adafruit_BME280_I2C(i2c, address=0x76) A few things I don't like about these boards: They're too small, which makes them unwieldy with.- The screw hole is too close to the components. You cannot use a standard 3mm jack cap or button jack cap without electrical shorts to components. The pan head screw works, but I'm still worried about the gap. Better to use 3mm nylon screw for fixing.

Pros
  • BME280 is a precision sensor soldered to the board.
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
