Brand: satkit
VAT included (Ex VAT: 13.40 €)
The BME680 sensor for Arduino is an advanced module that integrates multiple environmental sensors on a small board, ideal for electronics and development projects with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. This Bosch sensor accurately measures temperature, humidity, air pressure and volatile organic compounds (VOC), providing complete data for environmental and monitoring applications.
The module offers two communication interfaces: I2C and SPI. Connection via I2C is especially simple, using only two wires to connect the sensor to microcontrollers, making quick integration into your projects easier. In addition, the ADDR solder bridge allows you to select the I2C address (0x76 or 0x77) to avoid conflicts in systems with multiple devices.
To program the sensor, you can use existing Arduino libraries, such as the popular Adafruit BME680 Library, which simplifies data reading and sensor configuration from the Arduino IDE environment. This allows you to start working with the sensor without complications and make the most of its capabilities.
The module works with a regulated power supply that supports DC 3.3V to 5V, thanks to an integrated voltage converter, ensuring compatibility with different development boards and microcontrollers.

Customer Questions & Answers
What accuracy and error margins do the measurements of each environmental parameter have?
The BME680 sensor offers: Temperature ±1.0 °C in the 0–65 °C range; Humidity ±3 %RH (20–80 %RH); Pressure ±1 hPa (300–1100 hPa); and for VOC gas, the value is relative and requires reference calibration to estimate air quality. These data are based on Bosch’s datasheet and may vary slightly depending on sensor integration and ventilation.
What maintenance does the sensor require, and what factors can affect its service life?
The BME680 has a long service life if prolonged exposure to contaminants, dust or heavy condensation is avoided. It does not require periodic calibration for temperature, humidity and pressure, but the gas cell can degrade due to corrosive volatile substances or extreme humidity. It is recommended not to wash the module and to ensure good ventilation for stable readings, without exposing it to temperatures outside -40 to 85 °C.
Is the BME680 certified for use in critical safety applications or industrial standards?
The BME680 is designed for consumer, IoT and development electronics applications. It does not have specific certifications for critical applications in industrial environments (e.g. ATEX, SIL) or medical use. For systems regulated under strict standards, compliance with the sector’s requirements must be validated before integrating it into safety or critical monitoring systems.
How do you connect the BME680 sensor to Arduino?
The BME680 sensor connects to Arduino mainly via the I2C interface using only two wires for data and clock, plus power and ground. SPI can also be used if required.
What parameters does the BME680 sensor measure?
The BME680 sensor measures temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure and volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Is the BME680 sensor compatible with Raspberry Pi?
Yes, the BME680 sensor is compatible with Raspberry Pi and can communicate via I2C or SPI for environmental monitoring projects.
What supply voltage does the BME680 module require?
The module works with a regulated DC 3.3V to 5V power supply thanks to an integrated voltage converter.
Can I use Arduino libraries to program the BME680 sensor?
Yes, you can use existing libraries such as the Adafruit BME680 Library to make programming from Arduino IDE easier.
