Other Arduino Codes and Videos by Robojax
This is the code on using BME280 to display temperature as degree Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin and also display pressure as hPa and approximate elevation on the LCD1602-I2C or LCD2004. I have written custom function to make this all easy. Please watch the video instruction to understand it fully.

This is a library for the BME280 humidity, temperature & pressure sensor
Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit BME280 Breakout
----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/2650
These sensors use I2C or SPI to communicate, 2 or 4 pins are required
to interface. The device's I2C address is either 0x76 or 0x77.
Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code,
please support Adafruit andopen-source hardware by purchasing products
from Adafruit!
