Badger2040 and BME680

I’ve added the Adafruit BME680 (stemmaQT version) to my Badger2040 (micropython 1.18.7 image). I’ve tried to adapt various examples of BME680 code to work on the badger but seem to run into similar issues.

I’m using Thonny and landed on the following code:

import time
import bme680
import pimoroni_i2c
import badger2040
import machine


badger = badger2040.Badger2040()
badger.update_speed(badger2040.UPDATE_FAST)

#PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN = {"sda": 4, "scl": 5}
PINS_PICO_EXPLORER = {"sda": 20, "scl": 21}

TEXT_SIZE = 0.7

button_a = machine.Pin(badger2040.BUTTON_A, machine.Pin.IN, machine.Pin.PULL_DOWN)
i2c = pimoroni_i2c.PimoroniI2C(**PINS_PICO_EXPLORER)
#i2c = PimoroniI2C(sda=20, scl=21)
#i2c=PimoroniI2C(0,sda=Pin(20), SCL=Pin(21), freq=400000)

bme = bme680.BME680_I2C(i2c)


badger.pen(0)
badger.text("Eva's Temp Checker", 5, 20, TEXT_SIZE)
badger.update()
time.sleep(5)
badger.pen(15)
badger.clear()

while True:
    temperature, pressure, humidity, gas, status, _, _ = bmp.read()
    heater = "Stable" if status & STATUS_HEATER_STABLE else "Unstable"
    print("{:0.2f}c, {:0.2f}Pa, {:0.2f}%, {:0.2f} Ohms, Heater: {}".format(
        temperature, pressure, humidity, gas, heater))
    temp = str(round(temperature,1))
    press = str(round(pressure,1))
    humid = str(round(humidity,1))
    print(temp, press, humid)
    badger.pen(0)
    badger.text("Temperature "+temp+"C", 2, 10, TEXT_SIZE)
    badger.text("Pressure "+press+"Pa", 2, 30, TEXT_SIZE)
    badger.text("Humidity "+humid+"%", 2, 50, TEXT_SIZE)
    badger.update()
    time.sleep(5.0)
    badger.pen(15)
    badger.clear()

When I run this on the badger, the console shows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 21, in <module>
  File "/lib/bme680.py", line 340, in __init__
  File "/lib/bme680.py", line 102, in __init__
  File "/lib/bme680.py", line 355, in _write
AttributeError: 'pimoroni_i2c' object has no attribute 'writeto_mem'

The BME680 is detected when I scan the i2c bus:

Scan i2c bus…
i2c devices found: 3
Decimal address: 28 | Hex address: 0x1c
Decimal address: 106 | Hex address: 0x6a
Decimal address: 119 | Hex address: 0x77 ← the BME680

I’m at a loss. I appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to get the BME680 working :)

Try changing
bme = bme680.BME680_I2C(i2c)
to
bme = BreakoutBME680(i2c,0x77)
And see how that works.

Hi,
thx for your response. This does not work with the BME680 library as the name is not defined:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 22, in
NameError: name ‘BreakoutBME68X’ isn’t defined

I did try it with the adafruit_bme680 library

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 22, in
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘breakout_BME680X’

and with the breakout_bme68x library. Maybe there is a difference between the Adafruit BME680 StemmaQT and a BME680 breakout board?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 18, in
RuntimeError: BreakoutBME68X: breakout not found when initialising

FYI, I’m using this micropython driver: bme680.py

the driver named adafruit_bme680.py is the circuitpython version. I’m not sure what that would do on a micropython image.

Works now, thx @alphanumeric for putting me on the right track. Beginning of the code is now:

import time
from breakout_bme68x import BreakoutBME68X, STATUS_HEATER_STABLE
import pimoroni_i2c
import badger2040
import machine


badger = badger2040.Badger2040()
badger.update_speed(badger2040.UPDATE_FAST)

PINS_PICO_EXPLORER = {"sda": 4, "scl": 5}

TEXT_SIZE = 0.7

button_a = machine.Pin(badger2040.BUTTON_A, machine.Pin.IN, machine.Pin.PULL_DOWN)
i2c = pimoroni_i2c.PimoroniI2C(**PINS_PICO_EXPLORER)
bme = BreakoutBME68X(i2c,0x77)

which gives:

26.45c, 102018.05Pa, 42.87%, 73687.21 Ohms, Heater: Unstable
26.5 102018.0 42.9

I made a start on a BME68x Badger weather station a while ago - didn’t quite get as far as adding it to the examples but it’s here if you’d like to give it a go:

I seem to remember it does lots of averaging so the screen doesn’t need to update very often.

@JinjiroSan Glad to see you got it working. Pimoroni’s BME680 Micro Python library was already on your Badger. And will work with Adafruits BME680. As you figured out, the Adafruit one uses 0x77 for its i2c address. While Pimoroni’s uses 0x76. I missed that bit of info first time around, but see it now.
bme = BreakoutBME68X(i2c) # Pimoroni BME680
bme = BreakoutBME68X(i2c,0x77) # Adafruit BME680

Cool thx, when I add the code as-is from your posted gist link, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 16, in
RuntimeError: BreakoutBME68X: breakout not found when initialising

Also, when I change the i2c = PimoroniI2C(**PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN) to i2c = PimoroniI2C(**PINS_PICO_EXPLORER), same result.

but, when I change the first lines to this, it works:

import badger2040
import time
from breakout_bme68x import BreakoutBME68X
import pimoroni_i2c

display = badger2040.Badger2040()

WIDTH = badger2040.WIDTH
HEIGHT = badger2040.HEIGHT

PINS_PICO_EXPLORER = {"sda": 4, "scl": 5}

i2c = pimoroni_i2c.PimoroniI2C(**PINS_PICO_EXPLORER)
bme = BreakoutBME68X(i2c,0x77)

bme = BreakoutBME68X(i2c) uses address 0x76 by default. That won’t work with the Adafruit BME680.
bme = BreakoutBME68X(i2c, 0x77) switches it to use address 0x77 instead, which is what you need for the Adafruit breakout to work.

yes and changing to sda:4, scl:5

I go with just these two lines.

from pimoroni_i2c import PimoroniI2C
i2c = PimoroniI2C(sda=(4), scl=(5))

No need for the PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN etc stuff.

Ah yes, that’s even shorter :)

I’ve been meaning to ask, is there a purpose/benefit to using “from pimoroni_i2c import PimoroniI2C” vs just “import PimoroniI2C” on a platform like badger2040 (e.g. does it load less so it’s saving resources. Is it necessary on this platform)?

For me, as I often build an equivalent setup from Breakout Garden parts. I may not be using an Explorer or even a Breakout Garden. So I cut to the chase, as they say.
On my Tufty, I just find it easier and less confusing to use simpler code. I have many many builds with breakouts added that use i2c. No sockets involved.
Is it more efficient? That I don’t know? It’s what works for me. =)

Thank you for the tips here. I’ve adapted the code to the Badger 2040 W, and put it here: badger2040/ieq.py at main · OpenDevEd/badger2040 · GitHub

The example works within the overall badger_os, but adding the temperature sensing as another “app”. I’ve tested this with BME680. If anybody knows how to test other sensors (e.g., BME688), and display the different set measurements accordingly, help is very welcome!
