Advanced Bosch BME688 Breakout Board - Beginners guide for configuring on Raspberry Pi 4?

[Pi4Pete]

I have just bought the Advanced Bosch BME688 Breakout Board from PiHut.  Is there a beginners guide to setting this up on a Rasberry Pi?  This is my first foray into sensors and while I can find arduino related information, I can't track down a detailed guide for the Rasberry Pi.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Pete.

Hello Pi4Pete,

There are BME688 driver code and example code.

Hi BSTRobin.

Thank you for your reponse.

When I looked at these I could only see Arduino related information.  If you could provide a direct link to the information that would be appreciated.  I tried the links in your response, but again, only found Arduino related information.

Hi team and all BME fans,

I have the same problem. I see many tutorials or examples for Arduino, which is great, but there is very low level of support for RPi (python) users. I'm trying for almost 2 weeks and my iaq_accuracy is still on 1. In fact, I'm little bit frustrated. 

Could you please investigate, or help me understand, what I'm doing wrong? 

Here is my python3.7 script:

from bme68x import BME68X

import bme68xConstants as cst

import bsecConstants as bsec

from datetime import datetime

# Time info just for my purpose

test_start = datetime.now().strftime("%Y.%m.%d ~ %H:%M:%S")

test_start1 = datetime.now()

bme = BME68X(cst.BME68X_I2C_ADDR_LOW, bsec.BSEC_ENABLE)

while True:

    curr_time = datetime.now().strftime("%Y.%m.%d ~ %H:%M:%S")

    curr_time 1 = datetime.now()

    print("Aktualny cas:", curr_time, "\n")

    data = bme.get_bsec_data()

    for i,j in data.items():

        print(i + ":",j)

    print("\n\n")

    print("Test begins:", test_start)

    print("Test Duration: {}".format(curr_time 1 - test_start1))

 And the python bme68x library from: https://github.com/pi3g/bme68x-python-library

Thank you

Not sure but don't you a need a sleep there? (3 seconds or something?)
