Hi all,
I noticed that the temperature readings of the BME280 mounted on my PCB is highly affected by the temperature of the PCB that is always above 40°C.
Is it possible to hestimate the correct ambient temperature?
I also noticed that the humidity is very low (25% versus 65% measured by another sensor), may the heat of the PCB affect it?
The pressure instead seems to be correct and very precise.
Thank you
Walter
BME280 Ambient temperature and PCB temperature

Hi ,
The BME280 is very sensitive to environment, so self-heating of PCB can influence the measurement.
From HW side, you could keep BME away from component w/ significant self-heating effect, or isolate it, e.g. cut heat conduction via cooper. You could find the details in HSMI https://ae-bst.resource.bosch.com/media/_tech/media/application_notes/BST-BME280-HS006.pdf
From SW side, you could measure the offset between BME and ambient, and subtract the offset in BME reading.
