Interfacing BMP280 with STM32L476 Microcontroller: A Beginner's Guide

The BMP280 is a genuine barometric pressure sensor that can communicate with a microcontroller via SPI or I2C. In the following project, STM32l476 and BMP280 communicate through I2C to obtain temperature measurements from the BMP Sensor. The STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeMX ecosystems are used to develop firmware on the host controller.










For More details on BMP280 and STM32l476  refer to the datasheets. All the links are provided in the reference at the bottom of the page.
