If the BME280 isn't connected correctly you can handle this issue in your application.
I had an assembly using the AskSinPP library. The sensor was damaged during use. While debugging the sketch stopped while initializing the BME280 sensor. If there is a check whether the sensor is acknowledging you can easier debug a hardware defect.
Related issue # and issue behavior
none
Description of changes/fixes
added new member function the check the connection by reading only the slave address. The 'endTransaction' command returns if there was a NACK on I2C line.
@mention a person to review
Steps to test
Disconnect BME280 from your microcontroller (works only for I2C BME280s). Check the return status of BME280::Initialize() maybe output some information that the sensor can't be found.
Second do the positive test by connecting the BME280 through I2C bus.
Any outstanding TODOs or known issues
not tested for BRZO, but the documentation says the same behaviour as the Wire library
not tested for SPI connections - only minor changes
