Gravity: I2C BME688 Environmental Sensor

Brief

DFRobot Gravity BME688 Environmental Sensor is a highly integrated MEMS environmental sensor capable of comprehensively measuring environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and VOC index (volatile organic compounds). The software and hardware dimensions are fully compatible with the formal BME680, making it a drop-in replacement for the BME680 in existing systems without the need for any adjustments, while the BME688 improves the accuracy of the temperature measurements and skeletonizes the periphery of the IC on the circuit board to minimize the effect of heat from external components on the measurements.

Another major improvement of the BME688 is the introduction of a “heating layer” on the bottom of the chip. While conventional VOC sensors are susceptible to ambient temperature interference, leading to measurement errors, the BME688's heating layer allows the user to precisely control the sensor's temperature, thus minimizing the impact of ambient temperature on VOC measurements. With this feature, users can also adjust the temperature of the heating layer to collect data on the response of specific composite gases at different temperatures for in-depth analysis in conjunction with AI technology.

Note: If you hope to use the AI function of the BME688 for gas analysis, you will need to use BME AI-Studio software and BSEC2-Arduino library released by Bosch for secondary development

Sample code

Please install the Arduino library files first. DFRobot_BME68x This sample code uses I2C interface. For SPI interface sample code, please go to the library file to find DFRobot_BME68x_SPI.ino file, due to the same function, we do not show the code here. Calibration is required for accurate altitude measurement. Before uploading the code, please fill in the altitude value of your region into the statement in the sample code: seaLevel = bme.readSeaLevel(altitude value of your region);

Reading data (without IAQ index)

Program Function: Reads sensor data and performs serial port printing. (without IAQ) Set the heating layer to 320℃ for 100ms through setGasHeater() function. and wait for 30ms (the heating layer needs 20~30ms to be heated to the target temperature). And read the gas resistance value by readGasResistance() function.
