Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE05772:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The state-of-the-art BME680 breakout lets you measure temperature, pressure, humidity, and indoor air quality, and is Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible! Use this breakout to monitor every aspect of your indoor environment. Its gas resistance readings will react to changes in volatile organic compounds and can be combined with humidity readings to give a measure of indoor air quality. Want to get an idea of whether there's adequate ventilation in your bedroom, your workshop, or workplace? Set up a BME680 on a Pi Zero W and have it log sensor readings to a file, or stream live data to a web service like [adafruit.io](https://io.adafruit.com/) or [freeboard.io](https://freeboard.io/). It's also compatible with Pimoroni's fancy new [Breakout Garden](https://core-electronics.com.au/breakout-garden-hat.html), where using breakouts is as easy just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code. ### Features - Bosch BME680 temperature, pressure, humidity, air quality sensor - I2C interface, with address select via ADDR solder bridge (0x76 or 0x77) - 3.3V or 5V compatible - Raspberry Pi-compatible pinout (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) - Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W - [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/bme680) - [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/bst-bme680-ds001_16396155512.pdf) - Dimensions: 19x19x2.75mm (LxWxH) ### Contains - BME680 breakout - 1x5 male header - 1x5 female right angle header Pimoroni has designed this breakout board so that you can solder on the piece of right angle female header and pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 9). The right angle header also has the advantage of positioning the breakout away from the Pi's CPU so as to minimise radiated heat. ### Software As well as the [C library provided by Bosch](https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BME680_driver), Pimoroni has put together a [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/bme680) (with a quick and painless one-line-installer) to use with your BME680, making it straightforward to combine it with other Pimoroni boards (why not use a Blinkt! or Unicorn pHAT to visualise air quality in real time?) *Software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.* **Notes: Whilst testing, Pimoroni have found that the sensor requires some burn-in time (at least 20 minutes) and that readings may take a couple of minutes to** stabilise **after beginning measurements** **The solder pads (marked ADDR) can be bridged to change the I2C address from the default of 0x76 to 0x77, meaning that you can use up to two sensors on the same Raspberry Pi or Arduino** ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/b/m/bme680_breakout_v2_2_of_3_large.jpg)
