Environmental

Python Library for Bosch Sensortec BME280 Environmental Sensor.

Python Library

Turta_Env_280 library is responsible for reading temperature, humidity, and pressure data from the BME280 sensor.

Initialization

Add the following statement to the top of your Python code.

from turta_sensoruhat import Turta_Env_280

Then, create an instance of the Turta_Env_280 class.

env = Turta_Env_280.EnvironmentalSensor()

Now you're ready to access the library by calling its instance.
