bme680

Node.js module for controlling Bosch Sensortec BME680 and BME688 sensors.

Installation

npm install bme680-sensor

Wiring

| bme680 pin | Raspberry Pi pin| Raspberry Pi GPIO| |-------------|:----------------|:-----------------| | VIN (3,3 V) | 1 | | | GND | 6 | | | SDI | 3 | 2 | | SCK | 5 | 3 |

BME688 support

The changes in the Pimoroni Python library regarding the BME688 variant have been backported to this library. The variant is automatically detected by retrieving it from the I2C address and a different gas measurement calculation is used.

Available Methods

initialize

Initialize the sensor.

| Setting | Default value| |------------------------|:-------------| | Temperature offset | 0 °C | | Gas heater temperature | 320 °C | | Gas heater duration | 150 ms | | Gas heater profile | 0 |

Usage:

'use strict';

const { Bme680 } = require('bme680-sensor');
const bme680 = new Bme680(1, 0x76);

bme680.initialize().then(async () => {
    console.info('Sensor initialized');
    setInterval(async () => {
        console.info(await bme680.getSensorData());
    }, 3000);
});
