BME680 with the PIC18

[xeroblaze]

I'd like to use the BME680 with the PIC18 for a gardening project. There's an XC32 library floating around, but are there any resources for XC8?

Specifics:
MCU: PIC18LF26K42
Compiler: XC8
IDE: MPLAB X v 5.45
COMM: SPI

Just looking to get pointed in the right direction.

Hello xeroblaze,

We support hundreds of microcontrollers and application processors that are the most popular at the moment. As PIC18 is not supported, I would recommend that you select a more common MCU architecture, such as ARM Cortex M series.  If you have to use PIC18 in your design, you could visit https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/about-us/contact/contact-form, and use the contact form to submit your request.

Thanks for the contact link. I'd prefer to keep to MCU as-is due to power constraints.

I found this data sheet: https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/3660/BME680.pdf

I'm going to see if I can read the chip id using the SPI functions the MCC spat out.

Are there examples for this?

Hello xeroblaze,

You could download SW package from the following link, it included BME680 sensor API and BSEC example code.
