SparkFun Environmental Sensor Breakout - BME680 (Qwiic)

The SparkFun BME680 Environmental Sensor combines a gas sensor with temperature humidity and barometric pressure sensing to give you a complete environmental monitoring solution in a single package. The onboard gas sensor can detect a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) making it an excellent choice for monitoring indoor air quality (IAQ). Combined with precise temperature humidity and pressure tracking the BME680 functions as a completely standalone environmental sensor within a compact 1-inch by 1-inch footprint.Solderless Environmental TrackingBecause we routed the BME680 s default I2C interface directly to our solderless Qwiic connectors integrating this robust sensor into your existing ecosystem is incredibly fast and error-free. If your project requires a traditional breadboard layout or you need the increased versatility of SPI communication all essential I2C and SPI pins are also conveniently broken out to standard 0.1-inch spaced headers.Indoor Air Quality and PrecisionTo ensure your air quality monitoring projects are as reliable as possible the BME680 Environmental Sensor Breakout provides several standout features:VOC Detection: Measures a broad range of volatile organic compounds to help you gauge overall indoor air quality.Precision Measurements: Delivers highly accurate temperature ( 0.5 C to 1.0 C) relative humidity ( 3%) and barometric pressure ( 60Pa) data.Low Power Draw: Consumes just 0.15 A in sleep mode scaling up to 18mA depending on the active mode and sensor usage.Please be aware that calculating actual indoor air quality from raw BME680 data can be a complex task! For precise IAQ measurements we highly recommend utilizing Bosch's Sensortec Environmental Cluster (BSEC) Software. If you prefer a sensor that provides more direct IAQ outputs out of the box consider the SparkFun ENS160/BME280 Environmental Combo Breakout instead.Whether you're building a smart home climate monitor or a portable weather station this sensor can give you the baseline environmental data you need without all of that complicated wiring!
