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;
    /* amb_temp can be set to 25 prior to configuring the gas sensor 
     * or by performing a few temperature readings without operating the gas sensor.
     */
    gas_sensor.amb_temp = 25;

    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 = i2c_read;
    gas_sensor.write = i2c_write;
    gas_sensor.delay_ms = user_delay_ms;
    /* amb_temp can be set to 25 prior to configuring the gas sensor 
     * or by performing a few temperature readings without operating the gas sensor.
     */
    gas_sensor.amb_temp = 25;


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

Regarding compensation functions for temperature, pressure, humidity and gas we have two implementations.

- Integer version
- floating point version

By default, Integer version is used in the API

If the user needs the floating point version, the user has to un-comment BME680_FLOAT_POINT_COMPENSATION macro in bme680_defs.h file or to add it in the compiler flags.

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);

Reading sensor data

Example for reading all sensor data

    /* 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);

    struct bme680_field_data data;

    while(1)
    {
        user_delay_ms(meas_period); /* Delay till the measurement is ready */

        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_GASM_VALID_MSK)
            printf(", G: %d ohms", data.gas_resistance);

        printf("\r\n");

        /* Trigger the next measurement if you would like to read data out continuously */
        if (gas_sensor.power_mode == BME680_FORCED_MODE) {
            rslt = bme680_set_sensor_mode(&gas_sensor);
        }
    }
