Instructions for GY-BMP280 #36

Closed GitHubIsToxic closed 4 years ago

GitHubIsToxic commented 4 years ago

The GY-BMP280 (GY-BM P/E 280) and a few other similar (non-Adafruit) BMP/BME 280 boards, use the 0x76 I2C address instead of 0x77. Some tutorials I found on the web instruct changing the address in library source code. But it is trivial to make this Adafruit driver work out-of-the-box.

For example, in the 'Usage Example' code, just change this line:

bme280 = adafruit_bme280.Adafruit_BME280_I2C(i2c)

to this:

bme280 = adafruit_bme280.Adafruit_BME280_I2C(i2c, address=0x76)

Perhaps it would be useful to add these instructions?
