Rust BME280 Crate

A Rust crate to query temperature, pressure and humidity from sensor BME280

https://gitlab.com/claudiomattera/bme280-rs/

This crate supports both embedded-hal and embedded-hal-async.

See the changelog for this project.

Usage

Add the dependency to Cargo.toml.

[dependencies.bme280-rs]
version = "0.4.1"

Optionally enable the desired features.

A Bme280 structure can be created from an I²C interface and a delay function. The initial sampling configuration disables all measurements, so it is necessary to reconfigure the chip with the desired settings before read samples.

use bme280_rs::{Bme280, Configuration, Oversampling, SensorMode};

let i2c = ...
let delay = ...

let mut bme280 = Bme280::new(i2c, delay);

bme280.init()?;

bme280.set_sampling_configuration(
    Configuration::default()
        .with_temperature_oversampling(Oversampling::Oversample1)
        .with_pressure_oversampling(Oversampling::Oversample1)
        .with_humidity_oversampling(Oversampling::Oversample1)
        .with_sensor_mode(SensorMode::Normal)
)?;

delay.delay_ms(10);

if let Some(temperature) = bme280.read_temperature()? {
    println!("Temperature: {} C", temperature);
} else {
    println!("Temperature reading was disabled");
}

An AsyncBme280 structure can be used with asynchronous HALs. Its API is completely identical to Bme280, just with .await at the end of function calls.

use bme280_rs::{AsyncBme280, Configuration, Oversampling, SensorMode};

let i2c = ...
let delay = ...

let mut bme280 = AsyncBme280::new(i2c, delay);

bme280.init()?;

bme280.set_sampling_configuration(
    Configuration::default()
        .with_temperature_oversampling(Oversampling::Oversample1)
        .with_pressure_oversampling(Oversampling::Oversample1)
        .with_humidity_oversampling(Oversampling::Oversample1)
        .with_sensor_mode(SensorMode::Normal)
).await?;

delay.delay_ms(10).await;

if let Some(temperature) = bme280.read_temperature().await? {
    println!("Temperature: {} C", temperature);
} else {
    println!("Temperature reading was disabled");
}

Examples

The examples in directory examples show how to use this crate with an Adafruit FT232H board.

Connect the board to the sensor as shown (yes, D1 and D2 must be shorted for I²C to work).

And run the examples:

just run-example single

Unit of Measurements

By default, this crate uses f32 values for all the measurements temperature, pressure and humidity. When instead enabling the Cargo feature uom, it uses quantities from crate uom. Temperature measurements have type uom::si::f32::ThermodynamicTemperature, pressure measurements have type uom::si::f32::Pressure, and humidity measurements have type uom::si::f32::Ratio.

Logging

When enabling Cargo feature log, internal logging uses the crate log. When enabling feature defmt, internal logging uses the crate defmt. When disabling both features, internal logging is disabled. When enabling both features, internal logging uses both crates (this is probably undesired, but it makes features additive).
