The state-of-the-art BME680 breakout lets you measure temperature, pressure, humidity, and indoor air quality.

Installing

Full install (recommended):

We’ve created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your BME680 up and running with minimal efforts. To run it, fire up Terminal which you’ll find in Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal on your Raspberry Pi desktop, as illustrated below:

In the new terminal window type the command exactly as it appears below (check for typos) and follow the on-screen instructions:

curl https://get.pimoroni.com/bme680 | bash

Manual install:

Library install for Python 3:

sudo pip3 install bme680

Library install for Python 2:

sudo pip2 install bme680

Development:

If you want to contribute, or like living on the edge of your seat by having the latest code, you should clone this repository, cd to the library directory, and run:

sudo python3 setup.py install

(or sudo python setup.py install whichever your primary Python environment may be)

In all cases you will have to enable the i2c bus.
