This Python driver allows you to read data from the Adafruit BME280 Breakout on a Raspberry Pi, Pi2 or similar device.
This driver requires that you have previously installed the Adafruit_Python_GPIO package.
On Raspbian, you can install this package with the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-pip python-dev python-smbus git
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO.git
cd Adafruit_Python_GPIO
sudo python setup.py install
To read a single set of data points from the BME, connect your Pi or Pi2 to the BME280 breakout using I2C (connect SCL0/1 to the SCK pin and SCL0/1 to the SDI pin), and run the following command from this folder:
python Adafruit_BME280_Example.py
This driver is based on the Adafruit_BMP driver by Tony DiCola (Adafruit Industries), with BME280 additions kindly provided by David J. Taylor (www.satsignal.eu).
