    BME688 - broken by too frequent reading?

    BME688 - broken by too frequent reading?

    Hi everyone,

    I am working on a simple project with the BME688 connected to a Particle Argon board. I used as a starting point the sample code included in the Adafruit_BME680 library: https://github.com/kaga/Adafruit_BME680/blob/master/examples/usage/bme680_example.ino

    Everything has been working great, but today due to a coding error, my code was polling the sensor (calling bme.performReading()) every 20ms instead of every 5 seconds as I had it before. It ran in this mode for ~3 minutes before I realized what was happening and powered it off.

    Afterwards, I'm getting wrong temperature and humidity readings, with the temperature always returned as 151.43 degrees, and the humidity always 0%.

    Is it possible that I broke the sensor, or is there some way to reset it?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello particle_argon,

    You could run official reference code on you board and check it again.

    Thanks for your feedback! I tried again after letting the sensor rest overnight, and the readings were back to normal. Not sure what happened, but seems to be OK now.

    Hello particle_argon,

    Good news.
