SparkFun Arduino UNO R4 WiFi Qwiic Kit Hookup Guide

Example 6: Qwiic Atmospheric Sensor (BME280)

Library Installation

We've written a library to easily get setup and take readings from the Qwiic Atmospheric Sensor, which you can install through the Arduino Library Manager. Search for SparkFun BME280 Arduino Library and you should be able to install the latest version. If you prefer manually downloading the libray from the GitHub repository, you can grab it here:

Hardware Hookup

Plug one end of the Qwiic connector into the Qwiic port on the breakout board, and the other end into the Qwiic connector on the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi board like so:

Software Example

This basic example configures an BME280 on the I²C bus and reports out the data to the Serial Monitor at a baud rate of 115200 baud.

  This example shows how to read humidity, pressure, and current temperature from the BME280 over I2C.

  Hardware connections:
  BME280 -> Arduino
  GND -> GND
  3.3 -> 3.3
  SDA -> A4
  SCL -> A5

#include <Wire.h>

#include "SparkFunBME280.h"
BME280 mySensor;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Reading basic values from BME280");

  Wire1.begin();

  if (mySensor.beginI2C(Wire1) == false) //Begin communication over I2C
  {
    Serial.println("The sensor did not respond. Please check wiring.");
    while(1); //Freeze
  }
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.print("Humidity: ");
  Serial.print(mySensor.readFloatHumidity(), 0);

  Serial.print(" Pressure: ");
  Serial.print(mySensor.readFloatPressure(), 0);

  Serial.print(" Alt: ");
  //Serial.print(mySensor.readFloatAltitudeMeters(), 1);
  Serial.print(mySensor.readFloatAltitudeFeet(), 1);

  Serial.print(" Temp: ");
  //Serial.print(mySensor.readTempC(), 2);
  Serial.print(mySensor.readTempF(), 2);

  Serial.println();

  delay(50);
}

Select your Board and Port and click Upload. Open the serial monitor after the upload completes with the baud set to 115200 to watch data print out.
