Example 40: BMP280 Pressure Sensor

Experiment Overview

BMP280 is a high-precision digital pressure/temperature sensor that communicates via I2C interface. It measures atmospheric pressure (300~1100hPa), temperature (-40~+85°C), and estimates altitude. FastBee includes built-in BMP280 driver in Standard / Full firmware.

Note: This feature requires FASTBEE_ENABLE_I2C_SENSORS=1; disabled by default in Lite firmware.

Hardware Wiring

Board Label	GPIO Pin	Connected Device

Web UI Configuration Steps

Step 1: Create Rule

1. Click Peripheral Config in the left menu → Switch to Peripheral Execution tab
2. Click New Rule button
3. Fill in basic configuration:
   • Rule Name: Pressure & Temperature Monitoring
   • Report Data: ✅ Enabled
   • Enable: ✅ Enabled

Step 2: Configure Trigger (Timer Trigger)

1. Click Add Trigger button

2. Fill in trigger configuration:

   Field	Value	Description
   Trigger Type	Select Timer Trigger	Periodic collection
   Timer Mode	Select Fixed Interval	Second interval
   Interval	10	10 seconds

Step 3: Configure Action (Sensor Read)

1. Click Add Action button

2. Fill in:

   • Action Type: Select Sensor Read
   • Target Peripheral: Select bmp280_01
   • Data Field: pressure (pressure)

3. Click Save button

BMP280 Data Channels

Channel	Field Name	Unit	Description
0	temperature	°C	Ambient temperature
1	pressure	hPa	Atmospheric pressure (300-1100hPa)
2	altitude	m	Estimated altitude (based on standard pressure)

Notes

1. Firmware Version: Use Standard / Full firmware, or enable FASTBEE_ENABLE_I2C_SENSORS in custom build
2. I2C Sharing: Can share bus with other I2C devices (SDA/SCL)
3. Altitude Accuracy: Altitude estimation is based on standard pressure 1013.25hPa; actual calibration needed
4. Sampling Interval: 5-10 seconds sampling recommended
5. BME280 Compatible: BME280 (with humidity) uses the same address and basic protocol
