BME688 and ESP32 driver compatibility.

[EmiQS]

Hello.

We have a project in wich we wanted to use BME680 sensor with ESP32. But talking with Bosh Sensortec staff they recommended me to use BME688 "for new designs".

Now I have a few questions regarding to the compatibility between these two sensors.

Does BME688 provides some "default configuration" to use it just like a BME680 (not saying I'm going to, but just in case...)? I mean, with no trained AI.

Does BSEC-Arduino-Library provides compatibility with BME688 to aquire IAQ index, eCO, and VOCs?

I've seen that BME AI Studio generates a configuration file (with the training data). Is BSEC-Arduino-Library capable o loading those configuration files? I've seen in the examples some "bsec_config_iaq" file but I'm not shure thats the configuration file AI Studio generates.

I know I could figure out many of this "issues" researching, but because this is for a big project (>1000 units) I wanted some experienced opinions.

Thanks!

Hello Kefocuk,

You could see BME688 haven't be supported in https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BSEC-Arduino-library arduino library. If you have to use Arduino's development environment, it is recommended that you use BME680.
