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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good product. Exactly as shown in the listing.

I bought Adafruit Breakthrough for $20 and they are great quality and easy to use. The Bosch BME280 chip costs a few bucks, but it's tiny and I think it's impossible to hand-solder it. I was looking for a device like this that was small and could be hand soldered onto my PCB and only cost $4.50 each. It works as expected with the Adafruit library. The board has an LDO regulator, so it can run at 5V or 3.3V. If you don't need SPI or level shifting, and want something physically smaller than Adafruit's breakout, this is a great compromise. The SMT quality is very good. Shipping packaging is very good. I will buy this again. A minor gripe is the lack of a diagram or production drawing. BTW, you need to add a temperature offset to the device reading to get an accurate ambient temperature. (Same problem with the Adafruit device.) They all showed high values from -1.8 to -3F.

Pros
  • Uses I2C and SPI interface (supports 3-wire and 4-wire SPI).
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors
