The BME680 Breakout Board is a high-performance environmental sensor module, meticulously engineered for precision measurement of temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Powered by the Bosch BME680 sensor, this all-in-one board delivers reliable multi-parameter environmental data with low power consumption—making it ideal for smart home automation, indoor air quality monitoring, and portable IoT devices. It supports a wide operating range, including temperatures from -40°C to 85°C, humidity levels from 0% to 100%, pressure from 300 hPa to 1100 hPa, and VOC detection from 0.05 to 50 ppm.

Designed with I2C communication and equipped with a voltage regulator and level-shifting circuitry, the BME680 Breakout offers seamless compatibility with 3.3V and 5V systems. This allows easy integration with platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, without the need for additional hardware. Whether you're building a personal weather station or developing an indoor air quality dashboard, the sensor's compact footprint and programmable low-power modes make it ideal for both stationary and battery-powered applications.

Key Features of the BME680 Breakout

All-in-One Sensing Capabilities: Measures temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and VOCs with high accuracy and responsiveness.
Wide Compatibility: Operates via I2C and works seamlessly with all models of Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and other microcontrollers.
Selectable I2C Address: Features an ADDR solder pad to switch between 0x76 and 0x77, enabling use of multiple sensors on a single bus.
Voltage Flexibility: Built-in voltage regulation and logic level shifting ensure operation at both 3.3V and 5V, ideal for various embedded systems.
Low Power Consumption: Supports advanced power-saving modes and programmable interrupts for efficient long-term deployment.
Compact and Lightweight Design: Perfect for space-constrained applications including wearables, handheld devices, and portable weather monitors.
Burn-in Time Consideration: For optimal VOC readings, allow a burn-in time of at least 20 minutes and a few minutes for stable readings post startup.
Shared I2C Address Awareness: Shares addresses with BME280 and BMP280—address adjustment is needed if used concurrently on the same bus.
