BME68X and BSEC2.0 for Python by pi3g

This Python extension enables you to read measurement data by the BME68X sensor and the BSEC2.0 library from BOSCH.
The BME68X sensors by BOSCH Sensortec measure temperature, pressure and humidity.
Most importantly the sensor estimates the air pollution by recording the amount of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
With use of the (licensed) BSEC library from BOSCH, this allows for measuring the IAQ (Indoor Air Quality).

Check out this Installation Video!

How to install the extension without BSEC

pip3 install bme68x

How to install the extension with BSEC

clone this repo to a desired location on you hard drive
download the licensed BSEC2.0 library from BOSCH
unzip it into the bme68x-python-library-main folder, next to this README.md
open a new terminal window inside the bme68x-python-library-main folder

sudo python3 setup.py install

or to install under venv use

path/to/venv/bin/python3 setup.py install

How to use the extension

to import in Python

import bme68x

from bme68x import BME68X

see PythonDocumentation.md for reference
to test the installation make sure you connected your BME68X sensor via I2C
run the following code in a Python3 interpreter

from bme68x import BME68X

# Replace I2C_ADDR with the I2C address of your sensor
# Either 0x76 (default for BME680) or 0x77 (default for BME688)
bme68x = BME68X(I2C_ADDR, 0)
bme68x.set_heatr_conf(1, 320, 100, 1)
data = bme68x.get_data()
