Testing out the new Adafruit IO wippersnapper BME280 sensor support
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
the industrious adafruit.io team did a massive refactor of the way we support i2c sensors in wippersnapper to allow automatic generation of new sensor devices without having to hardcode how they look and are treated in the backend (and dontcha know, we even made the repo where we are keeping all that metadata public over at https://github.com/adafruit/Wippersnapper_Components/tree/main/components/i2c) and to celebrate, we added TWO more sensors - not only the AHT20 but also the DPS310 and ultra-popular BME280. here we show just how fast it is to set up data logging to adafruit.io with NO code, NO soldering, NO command line and NO toolchain. plug in the bme280 sensor in the qt py s2, open up wippersnapper, check the i2c address appeared, then connect to the new device and select which sub-sensors you want to log into a feed. boom, all in one tiktok minute! more plug-n-play i2c sensors coming soon... #adafruitio #adafruit #bme280 Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
