Cannot use CLUE example code - Failed to find BMP280? Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

[clpie]

Hi there,

I am just getting started and I am having a problem running the example code... I receive this error message:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

code.py output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 1, in <module>
  File "adafruit_clue.py", line 930, in <module>
  File "adafruit_clue.py", line 233, in __init__
  File "adafruit_bmp280.py", line 443, in __init__
  File "adafruit_bmp280.py", line 131, in __init__
RuntimeError: Failed to find BMP280! Chip ID 0x0

When this line of code is executed:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

from adafruit_clue import clue

Which means I cannot get the examples to work.

boot_out.txt:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

Adafruit CircuitPython 7.0.0 on 2021-09-20; Adafruit CLUE nRF52840 Express with nRF52840
Board ID:clue_nrf52840_express

I'm using the latest libraries and bundle:

adafruit-circuitpython-clue_nrf52840_express-en_GB-7.0.0.uf2

adafruit-circuitpython-bundle-7.x-mpy-20211101.zip

Does anyone know what might be happening here?

Thank you :)

OK, I have discovered this only happens when I connect a DPS310 Pressure Sensor via Stemma QT....

It is somehow interfering with the onboard pressure sensor?

Also, with an external temp/humidity sensor (SHT31) connected the example for temperature and humidity doesn't work:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 27, in <module>

I can run examples fine, I am just now wondering how to use external sensors:

thank you :)

You are running into an I2C address conflict. The BMP280 on the CLUE uses address 0x77. That is the same default address for the DPS310. You can change the address of the DPS310 to its alternate 0x76 address by soldering close the jumper on the back:

You will then need to specify that alternate address when setting up the DPS310 in your code:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

dps310 = adafruit_dps310.DPS310(i2c, address=0x76)
