BMP280 Breakout - Temperature, Pressure, Altitude Sensor

Description

If you're looking for a simple temperature and pressure sensor, then this is the one to pick. It's cheap and accurate (±1 hPa, ±1.0°C, ±1 metre), and ideal for keeping track of temperatures around your home or even for measuring altitude in high-altitude balloon flights.

It's also compatible with Breakout Garden, where using breakouts is as easy just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.

Features

• Bosch BMP280 temperature, pressure, altitude sensor
• I2C interface, with address select via ADDR cuttable trace (0x76 or 0x77)
• 3.3V or 5V compatible
• Reverse polarity protection
• Raspberry Pi-compatible pinout (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
• Python library

Kit includes

• BMP280 breakout
• 1x5 male header
• 1x5 female right angle header

This breakout board is designed so that you can solder on the piece of right angle female header and pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 9). The right angle header also has the advantage of positioning the breakout away from the Pi's CPU so as to minimise radiated heat.

Software

Pimoroni have put together a Python library for the BMP280 that makes it simple to take readings from the sensor, and to combine with code for other Breakout Garden breakouts and even other HATs and pHATs on a pHAT Stack.

Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.

Notes

• The solder pads (marked ADDR) can be bridged to change the I2C address from the default of 0x76 to 0x77, meaning that you can use up to two sensors on the same Raspberry Pi or Arduino
• The BME680 and BMP280 breakouts both share the same I2C addresses, so if you're using both together then you'll need to change the I2C address on one of them using the solder bridge/pads
• Dimensions: 19x19x2.75mm (LxWxH)
