Usage guide

Initializing the sensor

To initialize the sensor, you will first need to create a device structure. You can do this by creating an instance of the structure bme680_dev. Then go on to fill in the various parameters as shown below

Example for SPI 4-Wire

	struct bme680_dev gas_sensor;

	/* You may assign a chip select identifier to be handled later */
	gas_sensor.dev_id = 0;
	gas_sensor.intf = BME680_SPI_INTF;
	gas_sensor.read = user_spi_read;
	gas_sensor.write = user_spi_write;
	gas_sensor.delay_ms = user_delay_ms;

	int8_t rslt = BME680_OK;
	rslt = bme680_init(&gas_sensor);

Example for I2C

	struct bme680_dev gas_sensor;

	gas_sensor.dev_id = BME680_I2C_ADDR_PRIMARY;
	gas_sensor.intf = BME680_I2C_INTF;
	gas_sensor.read = user_i2c_read;
	gas_sensor.write = user_i2c_write;
	gas_sensor.delay_ms = user_delay_ms;

	int8_t rslt = BME680_OK;
	rslt = bme680_init(&gas_sensor);

Configuring the sensor

Example for configuring the sensor in forced mode

	uint8_t set_required_settings;

	/* Set the temperature, pressure and humidity settings */
	gas_sensor.tph_sett.os_hum = BME680_OS_2X;
	gas_sensor.tph_sett.os_pres = BME680_OS_4X;
	gas_sensor.tph_sett.os_temp = BME680_OS_8X;
	gas_sensor.tph_sett.filter = BME680_FILTER_SIZE_3;

	/* Set the remaining gas sensor settings and link the heating profile */
	gas_sensor.gas_sett.run_gas = BME680_ENABLE_GAS_MEAS;
	/* Create a ramp heat waveform in 3 steps */
	gas_sensor.gas_sett.heatr_temp = 320; /* degree Celsius */
	gas_sensor.gas_sett.heatr_dur = 150; /* milliseconds */

	/* Select the power mode */
	/* Must be set before writing the sensor configuration */
	gas_sensor.power_mode = BME680_FORCED_MODE; 

	/* Set the required sensor settings needed */
	set_required_settings = BME680_OST_SEL | BME680_OSP_SEL | BME680_OSH_SEL | BME680_FILTER_SEL 
		| BME680_GAS_SENSOR_SEL;
		
	/* Set the desired sensor configuration */
	rslt = bme680_set_sensor_settings(set_required_settings,&gas_sensor);

	/* Set the power mode */
	rslt = bme680_set_sensor_mode(&gas_sensor);

	/* Get the total measurement duration so as to sleep or wait till the
	 * measurement is complete */
	uint16_t meas_period;
	bme680_get_profile_dur(&meas_period, &gas_sensor);
	user_delay_ms(meas_period); /* Delay till the measurement is ready */

Reading sensor data

Example for reading all sensor data

	struct bme680_field_data data;
	
	while(1) 
	{
		rslt = bme680_get_sensor_data(&data, &gas_sensor);

		printf("T: %.2f degC, P: %.2f hPa, H %.2f %%rH ", data.temperature / 100.0f,
			data.pressure / 100.0f, data.humidity / 1000.0f );
		/* Avoid using measurements from an unstable heating setup */
		if(data.status & BME680_HEAT_STAB_MSK)
			printf(", G: %d ohms", data.gas_resistance);
		
		printf("\r\n");
	}
