Something is wrong with your calculation for Pressure. When running your code, it tells me that my Pressure is about 775 mBar.
That would mean that my altitude would be around 7000 - 8000 feet which is not correct.
Typical uncompensated pressure for my altitude (142 meters) is around 1006 to 1014 mBar which correlate quite well to my Analog and Digital Barometers. As well as my local weather station when applying accepted Seal Level Compensation formulas.

I have posted the in-depth documentation for this driver at:
[url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9hU8MaTMFJgWVc0WUYwSjFLNk0/view?usp=sharing[/url]
@ scardinale -
Here is a test of the sample code I provided for the driver:
AltitudeInFeet = 350.0F
// Webster NY is 425.0 feet (I presume at city hall)
// I found that setting an altitude setting of 350 F for my
// location matches a nearby weather station’s barometric
// pressure and has tracked that station within 0.01 inHg for
// three consecutive days through considerable barometric
// pressure deviations in Webster. I consulted a topographical
// map of my location in Webster. I am within 1/4 mile of a
// 400 ft elevation line on that map. I am in my basement
// which would drop me maybe 10 or 13 feet from grade level
// outside.
// The debug output from the test program is as follows:
TempC=20.9 Pressure (in millibars)=1024.16 Relative Humidity=41.10
TempF=69.6 Pressure (inches Hg)=30.24 Relative Humidity=41.10
// Here is the simultaneous Webster, NY weather report for that time.
// I live in Webster, NY.
Current Report for Sun Nov 15 2015
As of 11:54 PM EST SAT NOV 14 2015
36°F 2°C
// My temperatures readings are indoor
Webster weather conditions : Partly Cloudy
Barometer: 30.23 inHg. steady
// My pressure readings inHg closely match
// Webster weather.
Humidity: 73%
// My humidity reading is indoors.
Can you tell me a little more about your setup to test the driver, in particular, what breakout board you are using, if any, and what NETMF board you have? All my work is done on the Cobra III board.
Are you just checking the sea-level barometric pressure conversion code, or are you checking a complete system with a BME280 device connected?
I am committed to resolving this issue, once I understand it completely.
I am using a Mikrobus.Net Quail board using a MikroE Weather click which is based on the BME280. I have also tested your code with a MBN BME280 module.
The values returned for pressure is always around the 700 bar range. When I test using the Mikrobus.Net Weather Click driver the both report around 1012 mbar.
I will test this on a Cobra II board to see if this makes any difference, but I doubt that it will.
P.S. My Zip Code is near yours 13317.
@ scardinale -
As I cannot duplicate the results you have reported with my driver and my hardware, I wonder if you would offer to do a test for me?
In my driver code, only the following variables can affect the output of pressure when the AltitudeInFeet property is set to 0.00:
[ul]The TemperatureFine value – property int TemperatureFine
The nine pressure trimming values: ushort dig_P1, short dig_P2, dig_P3, dig_P4, dig_P5, dig_P6, dig_P7, dig_P8, dig_P9
The raw pressure value read from the chip – property Int32 RawPressureADC[/ul]
Please do the following:
[ol]Set ReportPressureInMillibars to false
Set AltitudeInFeet to 0.0F
Set a breakpoint at the start of the method GetCompensatedPressureInInchesHg()
Examine ‘this’ variable, a BME280Device object, and report the values of:[ul]TemperatureFine
RawPressureADC
All nine Dig_P* variables[/ul]
Then run any other program that you have that reports different barometric pressures and get the same values (which may have slightly different names in that program) and report those values to me.
Send me a report of those tests. [/ol]
I know it’s a lot to ask, but I cannot duplicate you error here because I do not have your other code nor your specific BME280 chip.
TemeratureFine is 116906
RawPressureADC is 524288
TemeratureFine is 116906
dig_P1 is 37510
dig_P2 is -10879
dig_P3 is 3024
dig_P4 is 10736
dig_P5 is -75
dig_P6 is -7
dig_P7 is 9900
dig_P8 is -10230
dig_P9 is 4285

RawPressureADC Yours: 524288 (0x80000) Mine 256586 (0x3EA4A)
All other valies were reasonably close to mine.
I have compared your results with my results. I must say that I see only one glaring error. Your value of RawPressureADC is 524288 (decimal) or 0x80000. If you consult Table 18 in the documentation for the BME280 chip, you will find the following:
register 0xF9, Name: press_xlsb, Valid bits: [7:4], Reset value: 0x00
register 0xF8, Name: press_lsb, Valid bits: [7:0], Reset value: 0x00
register 0xF7, Name: press_msb, Valid bits: [7:0], Reset value: 0x80
When parsing the registers for RawPressureADC, the driver reads the registers in the following order:
0xF7, 0xF8, 0xF9
In your case:
0x80, 0x00 0x00 = 0x800000
Since the last four bits of register 0xF9 are invalid, the value of 0x800000 is shifted right 4 times for a final value of 0x80000. This is 524288 decimal. Thus, when the pressure registers 0xF7 - 0xF9 read 524288, it means that the BME280 pressure registers are returning their reset values. I can only assume that this happens because these registers have not been updated after the Measure command. It seems that the measurements for temperature and relative humidity are copied to the output registers, but not the values for pressure. I don’t think that you have complained that the temperature or RH values are incorrect.
My driver code checks the status register and waits to read the result registers until such a time as the status register at 0xF3 does not have bit 3 (the measuring bit) or bit 0 (the im_update bit) set.
The BME280 documentation says this about the two bits in the status register:
Bit 3
Automatically set to ‘1’ whenever a conversion is running and back to ‘0’ when the results have been transferred to the data registers.
Bit 0
Automatically set to ‘1’ when the NVM (non-volatile memory) data are being copied to image registers and back to ‘0’ when the copying is done. The data are copied at power-on-reset and before every conversion.
The result you are seeing here makes me think that it may be necessary for my code to wait after commanding a measurement for the status register to read other than 0x00 (other than Idle), and then to read 0x00 (Idle) instead of just checking immediately that the status register reads 0x00.
Could you go to the Measure method and add the following line after TriggerMeasurements():
// Add the following line
while (GetStatus() == StatusFlags.Idle) Thread.Sleep(100);
// place the above this existing code:
while (GetStatus() != StatusFlags.Idle) Thread.Sleep(100);
I think the above change will insure a wait for the status to change to some form of busy, followed by a wait for the status to change back to idle. This may resolve the issue with my driver on your hardware.
If this is the case, I will update the driver.
Adding this code causes it to hang while waiting for the GetStatus to become idle.
@ scardinale -
I want to thank you for having the time and patience you’ve displayed assisting me in trying to resolve the issue you’ve reported. I think I am making progress towards a resolution. I appreciate all that you have been willing to do for me.
From your last post, it would appear that your status register is never going to idle. This is a clear indication to me that the other driver you are using is setting up the mode bits and/or the config bits so that the BME280 chip is working in the Normal, not Forced mode. This would mean that in normal mode, the BME280 is continually sampling and therefore always measuring, never idle. I tried the code change I sent to you previously, regarding the status checking, and it worked fine on my Diymall BME280 breakout board, which is working in Forced mode…
In another message you sent to me you said that my driver would work if you first set up the BME280 chip with the other driver you have then invoked my code.
My driver code depends upon the fact that the config register (0xF5) is set to 0x00, which is the power-on default. My driver makes the assumption that when I construct a BME280Device object, it has previously been left in the power-on default state. I think, especially because of the experience you relate, that assuming a power-on default state is a very bad assumption for my driver. Accordingly, I am going to make a new release for you to test that resets the BME280 chip before performing any measurement. This will place your BME280 chip into Forced mode when you call measure, which is the only mode supported by my driver code.
I’m also wondering about the frequency that you’ve selected for creating the BME280Device object. Have you changed the frequency from my default of 100 kHz? This could explain some timing differences which would cause my driver to see the registers for the raw pressure at the reset value.
Look for a patched driver here in this thread soon.
This action may disrupt the operation of the BME280 chip on the other software you are running, perhaps concurrently. I’ll post a new version of the driver in this thread soon, and hopefully, you can test it.

@ scardinale -
[ol]I ran your test code with version 2 of the driver I posted earlier in this thread.
I noted that you changed my driver’s default frequency of 100kHz to 400kHz. My current I2C bus lines are short, so I did not experience any high-speed bus issues.
I changed the device address in the test code to 0x77 because that is the address of the BME280 chip I have mounted on my prototyping board.
I modified the test code you sent at line 22 to read:
so the debug output would be correct. You test code was causing the debug output to report degrees F when it indicated degrees C.[/ol

Does this debug output give you any insight into the problems that you are seeing with my BME280Device driver?
I tried to locate the C# driver for the Mikroelectronica Weather Click board, but I could could not find it. Could you send me the code you are using with the Weather Click so that I can examine what they are doing with the driver code?
I don’t know if you tried version 2 of the driver I posted above. Did you, and if so, did it produce correct results?
Another question: Are you running the other Mikroelectronica code concurrently whilst testing my BME280Device driver? If so, this could explain a lot. The BME280 chip would be a shared resource in this case. Special coding would need to be done to insure that one driver did not mess up the expected state of the BME280 for other driver’s view of the BME280 chip.
I was mindful of the possibility of thread contention for sending commands and receiving data from more than one BME280 chip on the I2C bus. I made an extension method for I2CDevice to add a Transact method that does a thread safe execution of the Execute command. The Transact method insures that one thread’s use of the I2C (for the BME280Device driver) bus does not walk over another thread’s use of the I2C bus. The extension method does not, however, protect against different threads or different drivers trying to set different settings on the BME280 device. I attempted to improve this situation in Version 2 of the driver by resetting the BME280 device before each measurement.
In any case, to prevent concurrent use of the I2C bus when using I2CDevice, all threads using the bus would need to use the Transact extension method in place of the Execute method. Perhaps I need to stress that fact in the documentation of my driver.
Just some things to think about regarding how to resolve the issues you are experiencing with my driver.
Just to make sure that there was no contention between the Mikrobus.Net Quail board and drivers, I re-created the solution using a Secret Labs Netduino 3 Wifi. That way we eliminate any device incompatibilities with your driver and the MikroBus Board.
While still using the MikroE Weather click as my test device, I get the following output.
[line]TempC=22.8 Pressure (in millibars)=601.25 Relative Humidity=67.30
TempF=73.0 Pressure (inches Hg)=17.75 Relative Humidity=67.30
TempC=22.8 Pressure (in millibars)=601.25 Relative Humidity=67.30
TempF=73.0 Pressure (inches Hg)=17.75 Relative Humidity=67.30
TempC=22.8 Pressure (in millibars)=601.25 Relative Humidity=67.30
TempF=73.0 Pressure (inches Hg)=17.75 Relative Humidity=67.30[line]
The driver is your latest code that you posted and I changed the I2C Clock speed back to 100. Here is the code that I am using to produce the output.
using System.Threading;
using Cobra3AWS;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
namespace BMETestApp
{
public class Program
{
private static BME280Device _device;
private static double _pressureMb;
private static double _tempC;
private static double _relativeHumidity;

while (true)
{
_device.ReportPressureInMillibars = true;
_device.ReportTemperatureInCentigrade = true;
_device.Measure(out _tempC, out _pressureMb, out _relativeHumidity);
Debug.Print("TempC=" + _tempC.ToString("F1") + " Pressure (in millibars)=" + _pressureMb.ToString("F2") + " Relative Humidity=" + _relativeHumidity.ToString("F2"));
_device.ReportPressureInMillibars = false;
_device.ReportTemperatureInCentigrade = false;
_device.Measure(out _tempF, out _pressureIn, out _relativeHumidity);
Debug.Print("TempF=" + _tempF.ToString("F1") + " Pressure (inches Hg)=" + _pressureIn.ToString("F2") + " Relative Humidity=" + _relativeHumidity.ToString("F2"));
Thread.Sleep(2000);
}
}
}
}
I kept the I2C address at 0x77 as this is this is the default for the Weather Click.
As a point of reference, MikroE does not supply C#/NetMF drivers for their click boards. All of the drivers to date have been writer by the Mikrobus.Net Team.
I have ordered a Adafruit BME283 breakout board to develop the SPI version of the MBN driver. Once I receive that board, I will test again to eliminate any physical differences between the Weather click and the Adafruit board.
I’ll let you know my findings.
I was going to upload the MBN Weather click driver to Codeshare but that would be inappropriate for this forum.
@ scardinale -
The only way that I can get pressure readings like the ones you see with my hardware and software is to stop the process in the debugger and change the value of property RawPressureADC to 0x80000. A value of 0x80000 is the value returned from the pressure reading registers when they are in the reset state, or presumably when the driver has programmed the chip not to do a reading for barometric pressure. The reasons I can think of for kind of a failure are:
[ol]The barometric pressure readings are not ready or have not been sent to the pressure reading registers when the block of registers holding all the returned data is read by the driver.
The chip as been programmed to skip the barometric pressure readings (which is possible), but not when my code resets and reprograms the chip for a single reading of all values.
The chip’s barometer section is broken.[/ol]
Reason 1 would indicate that the code in my driver is not correctly detecting the status register of the BME280. This is possible and the reason why I tried to detect the status first going busy, and then going idle. This caused your device to hang in the loop.
Reason 2 is not possible now that I have reset and reprogrammed the BME280 to do a Forced read of all three values with no oversampling.
Reason 3 is not possible if you are sure that your code has correctly read the BME280’s barometer and tracked local sources.
I would like to obtain a Microelektronica Weather click for testing with my code with, but I don’t want to buy one and pay for the shipping, and then never use it again. If you want, and could possibly do so, could you loan me by mail a Weather click to try on my system? I would only keep if for a couple of days, and return it promptly to you, hopefully with the problem resolved.
I know that I will need to drop the 5V connection and use a 3.3V connection to the Weather click’s power pin.
If you are agreeable, I can email you my address particulars.
@ srogers. I sent you a PM a few days ago. Please check your In Box.
Reason 3. My code has nothing at all to do with the results that I am seeing as I am only using your exact driver code. There is nothing else loaded and there is nothing to influence the result. The only thing that has changed is the initialization in the Sub Main which I already showed you.
@ scardinale, @ srogers:
Was this issue ever resolved? I would like to try the driver, but wanted to check first.
Thanks,
Rockybooth
@ Rockybooth. Try Steve’s driver and let us know if it is working for you.
