A MicroPython driver for the Bosch BMP280 temperature and pressure sensor with configurable use cases and oversampling.
micropython-bmp280 is a MicroPython driver library for the Bosch BMP280 digital pressure and temperature sensor. It provides a Python interface to read sensor data and configure advanced settings like oversampling, filtering, and power modes. The library simplifies integrating the BMP280 into MicroPython-based embedded projects for environmental monitoring.
MicroPython developers working on IoT devices, weather stations, or embedded systems that require precise temperature and pressure measurements.
It offers a comprehensive, datasheet-aligned implementation with pre-configured use cases and fine-grained control over sensor parameters, reducing the complexity of low-level register manipulation.
module for the BMP280 sensor
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Exposes all BMP280 settings like oversampling, IIR filter, and power modes with enums referenced to datasheet sections, allowing precise hardware-level adjustments.
Includes ready-made presets for scenarios like weather monitoring and drop detection, simplifying setup by optimizing settings based on common applications.
Supports sleep, forced, and normal power modes with configurable standby intervals, enabling efficient energy usage for battery-powered IoT devices.
Uses properties like bmp.temperature and methods like bmp.force_measure(), making it easy to integrate into MicroPython code without low-level register manipulation.
SPI interface is listed as a TODO item, limiting the library to I2C communication only, which may not suit all hardware configurations or projects.
With numerous enums and settings for oversampling, filtering, and standby, users must understand sensor-specific concepts, which can be overwhelming for newcomers.
Exclusively supports the BMP280, requiring separate libraries for projects involving other sensors like humidity or gas sensors, increasing integration complexity.
