BME680 on Raspberry Pi

Copyright (c) 2018 Paul van Haastrecht paulvha@hotmail.com

Background

As part of a larger project I am looking at analyzing and understanding the air quality. The aim of this project was to better understand the kind of gas-types that are in the air.

I have ported the library to CPP on a Raspberry PI running Raspbian Jessie releaseand Pi-OS (Buster). It has been adjusted and extended for stable working.

Software installation

BCM2835 library Install latest from BCM2835 from : http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/

  1. wget http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.56.tar.gz
  2. tar -zxf bcm2835-1.56.tar.gz // 1.56 was version number at the time of writing
  3. cd bcm2835-1.56
  4. ./configure
  5. sudo make check
  6. sudo make install

In order for this software to run you should NOT enable i2C in raspi-config to load the kernel drivers. It works directly on the hardware, but you’ll have to run program as root if you select hard-I2C

twowire library Obtain the latest version from : https://github.com/paulvha/twowire

  1. download the zip-file (clone or download / download zip-file) in the wanted directory
