BME280 Weather

The BME280 Weather is an I²C device in the LabWired part catalog. Its catalog type is bme280. It connects to the MCU over I²C at the default address 0x76. The catalog gives a supply range of 1.71–3.6 V. It has 6 pins. A registered peripheral model runs in the engine: the firmware talks to it over the real bus and gets device-accurate responses.

How to simulate the BME280 Weather in LabWired

  1. Open the Playground at app.labwired.com and place an MCU board.
  2. Add the BME280 Weather (catalog type bme280).
  3. Connect VCC and GND to the supply and ground of the board. Use a supply inside the catalog range of 1.71–3.6 V.
  4. Connect SDA and SCL to the I²C data and clock pins of the board.
  5. Connect CSB and SDO as your circuit needs.
  6. Run the firmware. It finds the part on the I²C bus at 0x76 and reads and writes it as on hardware.

Other parts at I²C address 0x76

These catalog parts use the same default address. Two parts at one address cannot share one bus segment. A bus switch such as the TCA9548A puts them on separate segments.
