Arduino-Weather-CSV-Output

BME680 environmental sensor outputting data to the serial monitor as a CSV string

Barebones example of using Adafruit's BME680 environmental sensor breakout board to send sensor data to a Python program.

Requirements

• Adafruit BME680 breakout board
• Adafruit_BME680 library (install in Arduino IDE through Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries, and search for BME680)
• Python with PySerial installed (install through pip: pip install pyserial)

Stuff to know

• This example uses a very simple comma-separated value format created using the String object. The idea is ease of use and debugging for beginners, not speed.
• The order of sensor values must be agreed upon by both programs.
• For clarity, the Python program omits most error checking.
• Code assumes sensor is wired as I2C
