Available modes #10

Can someone explain the available modes?

I can see in the examples and in the library the 3 modes: BME68X_FORCED_MODE BME68X_SEQUENTIAL_MODE BME68X_PARALLEL_MODE

Nowhere those 3 modes are explained, with their correlated limitations...

Hi, these modes are explained in this datasheet: https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/media/boschsensortec/downloads/datasheets/bst-bme688-ds000.pdf. Check out section 3.4 on page 17. However it does not explain the difference between forced and sequential mode.

https://community.bosch-sensortec.com/t5/MEMS-sensors-forum/BME688-Sequential-Mode/m-p/48405/highlight/true#M8942 This forum post from Bosch explains a little bit about sequential mode, but they don't recommend using it.
