SiPy and BME280

[adrien3d]

I'm trying to get some value from my BME280 sensor, but, using 2 different libraries, I have problems at startup:

With https://github.com/catdog2/mpy_bme280_esp8266/blob/master/bme280.py
I have:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 7, in <module>
File "/flash/lib/bme280.py", line 74, in __init__
OSError: I2C bus error

which matches with the following code in the library;

dig_88_a1 = self.i2c.readfrom_mem(self.address, 0x88, 26)

In an other way, with https://bitbucket.org/oscarBravo/wipy_bme280/src/7c03d16f48154a55a9c09af65049b0f03ef6c005/bme280.py library, I have:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 7, in <module>
File "/flash/lib/bme280.py", line 185, in __init__
File "/flash/lib/bme280.py", line 191, in _load_calibration
File "/flash/lib/bme280.py", line 151, in readU16LE
File "/fl.MicroPython v1.8.6-607-g9c8a0e9e on 2017-05-01; SiPy with ESP32

Any ideas on how to fix one of these two problems, to get my BME280 up and running?

@adrien3d That looks like a connection error. Please check the connection to the device, especially

• whether you have pull-up resistors in place,
• the right GPIO's connected (SCL & SDA swapped?)
• the right supply voltage of 3.3 V
• CS high (for I2C) connected to VDD
• right I2c address. What do you see if you just issue an i2c.scan(), once the i2c object is created?

You might also have better luck with this library as it's already been written for Pycom devices, https://github.com/ButchAnton/LoPy_BME280.

I've tried with 2 different BME280 modules, and also with the new library, always the same error at readU16.
Now at the line 103 with the library provided by @bucknall
These modules are working well on an Arduino Micro.
When I'm trying an I2C scan, nothing is returned with the print.

When I'm putting my Saleae Logic analyser, nothing is happening on both SDA and SCL lines.

I'm trying to run the followning code:

import machine
from machine import Timer
from machine import I2C
import bme280

i2c = I2C()
print(i2c.scan())
bme = bme280.BME280(i2c=i2c)

print(bme.temperature, bme.pressure, bme.humidity)

And my BME280 is hooked up to G9 (SDA) and G10 (SCL), as said in the documentation.
I've also tried an other I2C device with the same pin connection, and same result, nothing with the print(i2c.scan), nothing on the Saleae.

Is there's anything else I can try ?
Thanks

@adrien3d Try fully specifying the I2C, like:

i2c = I2C(0, I2C.MASTER, pins=(Pin("G9"), Pin("G10")))

at least at my LoPy i then see data & clock at G9 and G10

[adrien3d]

@robert-hh said in SiPy and BME280:

i2c = I2C(0, I2C.MASTER, pins=(Pin("G9"), Pin("G10")))

Thank you soooo much, correct syntax for me is:

i2c = I2C(0, I2C.MASTER, pins=("G9", "G10"))

and thanks @bucknall for the library ;)
