You can connect the sensor to the left or right side of the board. (Where it can be connected varies depending on the connector type.)
When connecting a sensor, the (+) and (-) poles of the power supply cross each other in an X shape. Please be careful.
BME280 is a sensor that can quickly and precisely measure the temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.
BME280 is a sensor with humidity measurement function added to BMP280.
However, the measurement range of atmospheric pressure is 300 to 1100 hPa, so there is a risk of errors occurring when measuring higher than atmospheric pressure.
- You have to connect a 5V USB power source. (3V battery cannot be used)
