3. BMP280 + I2C

BMP280 + I2C

  • marekd

    Hello,
    This is my first post here, so please "be nice" to me.
    So far I built several nodes for temperature measurement, LED control, RF433 to control my outside sockets, in future my heating system will be based on reading from temperature nodes. Finishing at the moment irrigation controller for 8 zones ( think to post it when finish).

    Few days ago I received my BMP280 sensor
    for my outdoor weather station but couldn't find any projects here so I made it by myself (partly).
    So if anyone of you is going to use this sensor you may use this.
    Tested on Uno and works. I use Domoticz and it works just fine.

    //                  BMP280 I2C
// this program is for BMP280 library :

 /*       
	Bosch BMP280 pressure sensor library for the Arduino microcontroller.
	This library uses I2C connection.

	Uses floating-point equations from BMP280 datasheet.

	modified by mhafuzul islam

	version 1.01		 16/9/2014 initial version
	https://github.com/mahfuz195/BMP280-Arduino-Library/tree/master/BMP280

	Our example code uses the "pizza-eating" license. You can do anything
	you like with this code. No really, anything. If you find it useful,
	buy me italian pizza someday.

I also used some parts from oryginal MySensors PressureSensor for BMP085 module  

To use with MySensors 2.0.0 dev.branch

    Are you using a BMP280 (temp + pressure) or as you linked a BME280 (temp + hum + pressure)?

    If you have a BME280 have a look at http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2821/myweathergatewayesp8266-1-6-dev-branch for adding the humidity readings.

    @marekd Welcome on the forum. And thank you for sharing your sketch. Would love to see some pictures of your irrigation controller.

    @emc2 , must check it. the link is what I purchased.

    @TheoL, I have some pictures of my Ver 1.0 (before I found MySensors), but anyway it was based on standard Promini + RTC, Bluetooth, LCD 16x2, Keyboard and some other sensors.
    And it was a bit messy with all the wires.

    Now is going to be based on Mega256, NRF24 ... still under development.

    @emc2, Thank you for your comment, my sensor is BME280 so now I can use hum as well.
    I made quick upgrade of my sketch. Had to modify I2C address (good that you wrote that in your post), I change in the library for 0x76 instead.
    Here is my sketch for BME280:

    /*                  BME280 I2C for MySensors

// this program is for BMEP280 library :Adafriut BME280 

I use some parts from oryginal MySensors PressureSensor for BMP085 module

    @marekd glad it was useful.

    You may not need to change the address in the library.
    If you add these 2 lines after #include <Adafruit_BME280.h> it should work without modifications of the library and so survive any future library updates.

    #undef BME280_ADDRESS         // Undef BME280_ADDRESS from the BME280 library to easily override I2C address
#define BME280_ADDRESS (0x76) // Low = 0x76 , High = 0x77 (default on adafruit and sparkfun BME280 modules, default for library)

    Your irrigation controller looks really neat! I like that box man! Where did you get it?

    Thanks for this good idea, but it doesn't always work.
    It's better to add the define before the include, in the sketch.
    And to replace in the lib
    #define BMP280_ADDRESS
    by
    #ifndef BME280_ADDRESS
    #define BME280_ADDRESS (0x77)
    #endif
    Of course if library updates...
