I am trying to setup the BME688 sensor bought from Pimoroni but when I run the test code below I get the following error message: ImportError: no module named ‘breakout\_bme68x’ The code I am using is: “”“BME688 / BME680 demo This demo will work for both the BME680 and BME688. “”” import time from breakout\_bme68x import BreakoutBME68X, STATUS\_HEATER\_STABLE from pimoroni\_i2c import PimoroniI2C PINS\_BREAKOUT\_GARDEN = {“sda”: 4, “scl”: 5} PINS\_PICO\_EXPLORER = {“sda”: 20, “scl”: 21} i2c = PimoroniI2C(\*\*PINS\_BREAKOUT\_GARDEN) bmp = BreakoutBME68X(i2c) # If this gives an error, try the alternative address # bmp = BreakoutBME68X(i2c, 0x77) 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)) time.sleep(1.0) I have run the command below to setup the sensor but still get the same error message. curl [https://get.pimoroni.com/bme680](https://get.pimoroni.com/bme680) | bash Any ideas?

What do you have the sensor connected to (and how do you have it connected?) ---

I don’t have the sensor connected as yet, I was connecting it over Stemma/QT (QW/ST) once I got the software to run through with no errors. ---

Might need some more info about your setup to be able to help here I’m afraid - are you using a Raspberry Pi or a Raspberry Pi Pico? ---

It is a Raspberry Pi Pico with ‘rp2-pico-20220618-v1.19.1.uf2’ installed. ---

Ah OK - is that a version of MicroPython downloaded from the Raspberry Pi website? You’ll need to install our custom MicroPython version to have the BME688 drivers built in: [Releases · pimoroni/pimoroni-pico · GitHub](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases). You’ll need the Pico flavoured image - here’s a [direct link](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/download/v1.19.11/pimoroni-pico-v1.19.11-micropython.uf2). Note that the example code may throw an error if you don’t have the breakout physically connected to the Pico, either by Qw/ST or by some other means. ---

I have now downloaded the correct UF2 file and it has gone past the initial error message. I will now have a look at which I2C pins to use on the PICO Thanks a lot for your help. Mike ---

Hi Mike, Would you be able to share which pins you used to connect your Pico to the BME688? I can’t seem to find an official document on what that should be? I found one for the BM280 and have been unsuccessful so far: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/5/583f4f648bbc78aafb35bd68f34fe540dbc67a9a.jpeg) Source: [Raspberry Pi Pico W: Wireless Weather Station - YouTube](https://youtu.be/3q807OdvtH0?t=481) For reference, this is my code: ```auto from breakout_bme68x import BreakoutBME68X from pimoroni_i2c import PimoroniI2C PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN = {"sda": 4, "scl": 5} PINS_PICO_EXPLORER = {"sda": 0, "scl": 1} i2c = PimoroniI2C(**PINS_PICO_EXPLORER) bme = BreakoutBME68X(i2c) ``` ---

Hi, I have connected the ME688 to pins 6 & 7 For the SDA & SCL. If that doesn’t work, try reversing the two connections.
