Drivers for BME680

[Ulf Hedblom]

Hi

I would like to connect a BME680 sensor to the nRF9160DK board. The driver for this sensor isn't included included in the v1.14.99-ncs2 branch but it shows up in the v1.14.99-ncs3 snapshots. Do you know if/when the ncs3 will be released and if it will include this driver or am I confused and asking this question in the wrong place?

Hi!

The driver for the BME680 sensor was just added to the master branch two weeks ago. So if you run 'git checkout master' it can be found in \ncs\zephyr\drivers\sensor\bme680. You can find it here as well. 

Best regards,

Heidi

Hi Heidi

This sounds excellent.

I will however need some more information on how to get the master branch downloaded. I have the toolchain and zephyr set up according to the instructions on how to get SEGGER Embedded Studio to work and I've been using to west command for updates the updates. But it seems like I'm unable to get anything to work using that.

Best regards,

Ulf

Hi! 

Open a terminal (Command Prompt in Windows) on your computer and navigate to the ncs folder. If you have git installed, just run "git checkout master" and you are on the master branch. If not you can install that here.

Hi

I'm on ubuntu and have git installed. I navigate to '~/sourcecode_root/ncs' and then attempts the 'git checkout master' which result in a 'fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): ,git'

Have I done something strange when I set this up? Should I try to recreate the entire thing?

[Heidi]

It sounds like you just copied the contents of the git repo without cloning it? 

Delete the directory and use 'git clone https://github.com/NordicPlayground/fw-nrfconnect-nrf.git' to create the git repository on your computer.

I had some issues with old ubuntu versions when I did this so you  might be right.

Thank you for the answer and information on how to obtain the master branch, I should be able to fix this but right now I have to work on some unrelated UART-code.

Thank you again Heidi.
