    BMP 384 error code 6

    BMP 384 error code 6

    Hello everyone,

    I've recently developed a PCB equipped with eight BMP384 sensors, utilizing SPI communication (3-wire). During testing, I encountered an issue where six out of the eight sensors provided consistent data readings, while the remaining two sensors initially output readings but subsequently returned error code 6.

    I'm using the Sparkfun_BMP384_Arduino_library, which utilizes the BMP3_sensorAPI from Bosch. The sensors are all placed in identical environments, and I've ensured that the connections are correct. However, I'm puzzled by why only these two sensors are exhibiting this behavior.

    The error code 6 typically indicates "too much pressure," but it's unclear why these particular sensors would report this error while operating under the same conditions as the others. Could these sensors be faulty, or is there another factor at play that I might be overlooking?

    I've attached images showing the readings from both a functioning sensor and one that returns error code 6 for reference.

    Thank you in advance for any insights or suggestions you can provide!

    Hi ArDes,

    Host uses 3-wire SPI to access 8 BMP384 through different CS pin. Did you do it like this?
