Python module for the qwiic bme280 sensor, which is part of the SparkFun Qwiic Environmental Combo Breakout
This python package is a port of the existing SparkFun BME280 Arduino Library
This package can be used in conjunction with the overall SparkFun qwiic Python Package
New to qwiic? Take a look at the entire SparkFun qwiic ecosystem.
The qwiic BME280 Python package current supports the following platforms:
This driver package depends on the qwiic I2C driver: Qwiic_I2C_Py
The SparkFun qwiic BME280 module documentation is hosted at ReadTheDocs
