Connect an I²C host

Required

Power the bare sensor and host from 3.3 V. Tie CSB to VDDIO and SDO to ground for address 0x76. Use 0x77 if SDO is tied to VDDIO.

Bench checks

  • At 100 kHz on a short bus, find an acknowledgement at the address selected by SDO.
  • Read chip ID register 0xD0. A BME280 production part returns 0x60.
  • Read the factory calibration coefficients and use the manufacturer’s compensation algorithm for each enabled measurement.

Connection scenarios

Connect a 4-wire SPI host

Use a 3.3 V SPI host with separate data lines. Keep chip select high at idle and pull it low for each transaction.

Bench checks

  • Start at 1 MHz in mode 0. To read the ID, send 0xD0 and clock in the next byte with CSB held low.
  • Read chip ID register 0xD0. A BME280 production part returns 0x60.
  • Read the factory calibration coefficients and use the manufacturer’s compensation algorithm for each enabled measurement.
