Interfacing a Bosch BME280 digital sensor module (capable of sensing
temperature, humidity and pressure) in Python 2 or 3 using I2C on the Raspberry
Pi. The particular kit I bought can be acquired for a few pounds from `eBay
<http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311728184519>`_. Further technical details for the
BME280 sensor can be found in the `datasheet
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rm-hull/bme280/master/doc/tech-spec/BME280.pdf>`_
[PDF].

GPIO pin-outs
-------------
The BME280 is an I2C device, so connecting to the RPi is very straightforward:

P1 Header
^^^^^^^^^
For prototyping, the P1 header pins should be connected as follows:

========== ====== ============ ======== ==============
Board Pin  Name   Remarks      RPi Pin  RPi Function  
========== ====== ============ ======== ==============
1          VIN    +3.3V Power  P01-1    3V3           
2          GND    Ground       P01-6    GND           
3          SCL    Clock        P01-5    GPIO 3 (SCL)  
4          SDA    Data         P01-3    GPIO 2 (SDA)  
========== ====== ============ ======== ==============

Pre-requisites
--------------
Ensure that the I2C kernel driver is enabled::

  $ dmesg | grep i2c
  [    4.925554] bcm2708_i2c 20804000.i2c: BSC1 Controller at 0x20804000 (irq 79) (baudrate 100000)
  [    4.929325] i2c /dev entries driver

or::

  $ lsmod | grep i2c
  i2c_dev                 5769  0
  i2c_bcm2708             4943  0
  regmap_i2c              1661  3 snd_soc_pcm512x,snd_soc_wm8804,snd_soc_core

If you have no kernel modules listed and nothing is showing using ``dmesg`` then this implies
the kernel I2C driver is not loaded. Enable the I2C as follows:

#. Run ``sudo raspi-config``
#. Use the down arrow to select ``9 Advanced Options``
#. Arrow down to ``A7 I2C``
#. Select **yes** when it asks you to enable I2C
#. Also select **yes** when it asks about automatically loading the kernel module
#. Use the right arrow to select the **<Finish>** button
#. Select **yes** when it asks to reboot

After rebooting re-check that the ``dmesg | grep i2c`` command shows whether
I2C driver is loaded before proceeding.

Optionally, to improve permformance, increase the I2C baudrate from the default
of 100KHz to 400KHz by altering ``/boot/config.txt`` to include::

  dtparam=i2c_arm=on,i2c_baudrate=400000

Then reboot.

Then add your user to the i2c group::

  $ sudo adduser pi i2c

Install some packages::

  $ sudo apt-get install i2c-tools python-pip

Next check that the device is communicating properly (if using a rev.1 board,
use 0 for the bus not 1)::

  $ i2cdetect -y 1
         0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
    00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
    70: -- -- -- -- -- -- 76 --

Installing the Python Package
-----------------------------
For python2, from the bash prompt, enter::

  $ sudo python setup.py install

This will install the Python files in ``/usr/local/lib/python2.7``
making them ready for use in other programs.

Alternatively for python3, type::

 $ sudo python3 setup.py install

Cheeseshop install
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Alternatively, a version on PyPi is available, just do::

  $ sudo pip install RPi.bme280

Software Driver - Example Usage
-------------------------------
Once installed, confirm the I2C address (see prerequisites, it will most 
likely be 0x76 or 0x77) and port.

Then in a python script or REPL:

.. code:: python

  import smbus2
  import bme280

  port = 1
  address = 0x76
  bus = smbus2.SMBus(port)

  calibration_params = bme280.load_calibration_params(bus, address)

  # the sample method will take a single reading and return a
  # compensated_reading object
  data = bme280.sample(bus, address, calibration_params)

  # the compensated_reading class has the following attributes
  print(data.id)
  print(data.timestamp)
  print(data.temperature)
  print(data.pressure)
  print(data.humidity)

  # there is a handy string representation too
  print(data)

This then should print something like::

  ee50df9c-3aa3-4772-8767-73b6bb74f30f
  2016-11-18 17:33:28.937863
  20.563
  980.91
  48.41
  compensated_reading(id=ee50df9c-3aa3-4772-8767-73b6bb74f30f, 
      timestamp=2016-11-18 17:33:28.937863, temp=20.563 °C, 
      pressure=980.91 hPa, humidity=48.41 % rH)

For a data-logger like application, periodically call ``bme2.sample(bus, address, calibration_params)`` to
get time-based readings.

See the `weatherstation project <https://github.com/rm-hull/weatherstation>`_ for
a more complete example usage.
