Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Atmospheric.Bme68x 2.0.1.2

Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Atmospheric.Bme68x

Bosch BME68x SPI / I2C humidity, barometric pressure, ambient temperature and gas (VOC) sensor

The Bme68x library is included in the Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Atmospheric.Bme68x nuget package and is designed for the Wilderness Labs Meadow .NET IoT platform.

This driver is part of the Meadow.Foundation peripherals library, an open-source repository of drivers and libraries that streamline and simplify adding hardware to your C# .NET Meadow IoT applications.

Installation

You can install the library from within Visual studio using the the NuGet Package Manager or from the command line using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Meadow.Foundation.Sensors.Atmospheric.Bme68x

Usage

Bme680? sensor;

public override Task Initialize()
{
    Resolver.Log.Info("Initializing...");

    //CreateSpiSensor();
    CreateI2CSensor();

    //uncomment to enable on sensor heater for gas readings
    //EnableGasHeater();

    var (Temperature, Humidity, Pressure, Resistance) = await sensor.Read();

    Resolver.Log.Info("Initial Readings:");
