### Sensor overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BME280 is a combined digital humidity, pressure and temperature sensor based on proven sensing principles.
|
|
|
|
Its small dimensions and its low power consumption allow the implementation in battery driven devices such as
|
|
|
|
handsets, GPS modules or watches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Target Application
|
|
|
|
- Context awareness, e.g.skin detection, room change detection.
|
|
|
|
- Fitness monitoring / well-being
|
|
|
|
- Home automation control
|
|
|
|
- Internet of things
|
|
|
|
- GPS enhancement(e.g.time-to-first-fix improvement, dead reckoning, slope detection)
|
|
|
|
- Indoor navigation(change of floor detection, elevation detection)
|
|
|
|
- Outdoor navigation, leisure and sports applications
|
|
|
|
- Weather forecast
|
|
|
|
- Vertical velocity indication(rise/sink speed)
