BME68X and BSEC2.0 for Python by pi3g

This Python extension enables you to read measurement data by the BME68X sensor and the BSEC2.0 library from BOSCH.
The BME68X sensors by BOSCH Sensortec measure temperature, pressure and humidity.
Most importantly the sensor estimates the air pollution by recording the amount of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
With use of the (licensed) BSEC library from BOSCH, this allows for measuring the IAQ (Indoor Air Quality).

Check out this Installation Video!

How to install the extension without BSEC

pip3 install bme68x

How to install the extension with BSEC

• clone this repo to a desired location on you hard drive
• download the licensed BSEC2.0 library from BOSCH
  
• unzip it into the bme68x-python-library-main folder, next to this README.md
• open a new terminal window inside the bme68x-python-library-main folder

  sudo python3 setup.py install

  or to install under venv use

  path/to/venv/bin/python3 setup.py install

  How to use the extension

• to import in Python

  import bme68x

  or

  from bme68x import BME68X

• see PythonDocumentation.md for reference
• to test the installation make sure you connected your BME68X sensor via I2C
• run the following code in a Python3 interpreter

  
  from bme68x import BME68X

Replace I2C_ADDR with the I2C address of your sensor

Either 0x76 (default for BME680) or 0x77 (default for BME688)

bme68x = BME68X(I2C_ADDR, 0) bme68x.set_heatr_conf(1, 320, 100, 1) data = bme68x.get_data()
