Grove - Temp & Humi & Barometer Sensor (BME280)
Sold outGrove - Barometer Sensor (BME280) is a breakout board for Bosch BMP280 high-precision, low-power combined humidity, pressure, and temperature sensor.
Overview
This module can be used to measure temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity accurately and fast. As the atmospheric pressure changes with altitude, it can also measure approximate altitude of a place. It can be connected to a microcontroller with I2C (integrated with Grove socket) or through the SPI bus. There is also provided highly abstracted library to make the product easier to use.
The BME280 is an upgraded version of BMP180, and BME280 gets dramatic improvements from BMP180. BME280 comes with a smaller footprint, lower power consumption, lower noise measurements, higher resolutions for pressure and temperature, lower RMS noise, newly added SPI bus, more measuring modes, higher measuring rate, and newly added filter against environmental interference. Since the atmosphere pressure reading is affected by altitude and temperature, we have added compensation features.
Hence, Grove - Barometer Sensor (BME280) will be more reliable in providing precise temperature, atmospheric pressure values, humidity and approximate altitude data.
Features:
- Get more precise temperature, atmospheric pressure values, humidity and approximate altitude data fast.
- Grove compatible for ease to use
- Highly abstracted library for building projects quicke

… about the value of air quality, while simultaneously introducing them to some core STEM concepts, Arduino has you covered. The Arduino Greenhouse Kit and the Arduino Explore IoT Kit include experiments involving air quality, allowing users to build their own sensors and tracking tools to measure a range of data points like humidity, moisture, and the presence of particles like CO2. These projects both work using the Arduino MKR IoT Carrier Rev2, which has a VOC sensor. Use AI to monitor air quality [October 10, 2024 update] The Nicla family now includes the Arduino Nicla Sense Env, ready to provide real-time data on air quality – monitoring temperature and humidity and detecting TVOCs, NO2, O3, and other gasses – both indoors and outdoors, thanks to AI-ready Renesas sensors.
