I have just tried to get the BMP280 working with the python script from here. Namley a script from the Pimoroni/examples and when it runs I get errors in the _init_.py file saying it was unable to find bmp280 on 0x76. I ran this script: i2cdetect - y 1 and nothing was found I then tried the bmp280 on an arduino using a i2cscanner sketch, and it found the bmp280 on 0x76! For what is worth I also tried on a 2nd Pi zero but it was same result. So why does the pi zero not find the bmp280, does anyone know what the problem is. Am I missing library files or something. Thanks ---

If `i2cdetect` isn’t picking it up then that suggests that the breakout isn’t talking to the i2c bus properly. Exactly which i2c breakout is this, and how have you wired it up? ---

The problem was a loose jumper wire to the SDA GPIO pin2 on the pi zero. It had almost come off , and I didn’t notice it had. It’s working ok now, but is there anyway that the output could be directed to a 16 x 2 lcd display.
