Review on Adafruit BME280 Temperature Humidity Pressure by Predrag Hall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good on paper. Easy installation.

Installation was easy and the sensor is very small. I used 2 or 3 sensors of the same type from another company that died last year. I chose another company hoping for better results. The notable difference between this version and Adafruit is that the voltage supports 3.3V or 5V and SPI or I2C, while the previous boards I had only had 3.3V over I2C. I have an Arduino Yun that uses mostly 5V so previous sensors could die that quickly. (I didn't guess the voltage on the data line, but I still put 3.3V across the sensors.) I'll have to see if it lasts more than a few months.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • There are nuances
