PITS Zero additional sensors #2

Closed labjg closed 7 years ago

labjg commented 7 years ago

Wanted to check connections for DS1820 and/or BME280 on the PITS Zero board. Looks like pins/pads are not provided, so my assumption would be to use the GPIO header according to the pinout at https://github.com/PiInTheSky/pits-hardware/blob/master/Pits-Stacking-System-GPIO-Allocations.pdf

So physical pins 7 for OneWire and 3 & 5 for I2C, plus appropriate power. Correct?

Also since a BMP/BME280 has temp built-in, can/will this be used as telemetry external temp if a DS1820 is not present?

Hope I'm not jumping the gun with all the PITS Zero questions; I know it's a new board.. :)

Thanks for the support.

Not to worry, tried a BME280 and it works (with 'bme280=Y' in pisky.txt). Had to swap out supplied (non-stackable) header block for a stackable one in order to access the pins..
