I am also interested in this, and here's what I've managed to do / not do. I attached the sensor, and ran
sudo i2cdetect -y 1 to check it was there. It was showing as position 0x77, which is decimal 119 just as in Craig's post above. These parts were missing above, and I eventually figured out as he's running it as a service: I then took his file, bmp280.py amd put it in /usr/share/weewx/user/ I then added to weewx.conf as above. However i ALSO had to add this to the engine services part: archive_services = weewx.engine.StdArchive, user.bmp280.bmp (I was getting errors before that) So, now weewx runs without error In the logs I can see this: Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: manager: Daily summary version is 2.0 Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: engine: Using binding 'wx_binding' to database 'weewx' Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: manager: Starting backfill of daily summaries Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: engine: Finished loading service weewx.engine.StdArchive Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: engine: Loading service user.bmp280. bmp Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: engine: Finished loading service user .bmp280.bmp Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: engine: Loading service weewx.restx. StdStationRegistry Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: restx: StationRegistry: Registration not requested. Aug 21 17:27:38 WeatherPi weewx[1589]: engine: Finished loading service weewx.restx.StdStationRegistry However, nothing is getting written to db. I tried this to check everything on the sensor was ok: git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO.git cd Adafruit_Python_GPIO sudo python setup.py install cd ../ git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_BME280.git cd Adafruit_Python_BME280 python ./Adafruit_BME280_Example.py Temp = 29.053 deg C Pressure = 890.79 hPa Humidity = 0.00 % So, I'm stumped now. Will let you know if I get it working, however I feel I'm going to need some help...
