I plan to use the BME280 for an O2/CO2 analyzer.
I have previously had bad experience with pressure sensors and high humidity/condensation.
Can the BME280 handle condensation/water (when on)?
Can condensation damage the sensor(s) i.e. is the electronics, bonding wires, etc exposed?
Hello RBA,
As BME280 data sheet and application note mentioned,
1, Sensor operating range, 40β...+85β, 0...100% rel. humidity, 300...1100hPa,
2, Sensor storage temperature, β€65% RH, -45β...+85β,
3, Sensor Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL1,
4, The sensor has to be protected against all kinds of liquids(cannot dip the sensor into water or drop water into the sensor).
If BME280 sensor's working environment can follow the note/datasheet recommendation, the sensor can worked normally in our operating range.
