# BME680
![ci](https://github.com/cmur2/python-bme680/workflows/ci/badge.svg?branch=master)
https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/bme680
The state-of-the-art BME680 breakout lets you measure temperature, pressure, humidity, and indoor air quality.
## About this Fork
In general this fork tries to improve some details of the [original pimoroni/bme680-python repo](https://github.com/pimoroni/bme680-python):
- use standard unit for pressure measurement (Pascal instead Hectopascal, user can convert if he likes)
- floating point precision for measurement compensations (user has all precision available to choose *based on measurement settings and datasheet* how much is trustable)
- no redundant tweaking of measurement settings after soft reset
## Development
If you want to contribute, or like living on the edge of your seat by having the latest code, you should clone this repository, `cd` to the library directory, and run:
```bash
sudo python3 setup.py install
```
(or `sudo python setup.py install` whichever your primary Python environment may be)
In all cases you will have to enable the i2c bus.
