## Getting Started
Construct new `PimoroniI2C` and `BreakoutBME280` instances:
```python
from breakout_bme280 import BreakoutBME280
from pimoroni_i2c import PimoroniI2C
PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN = {"sda": 4, "scl": 5}
PINS_PICO_EXPLORER = {"sda": 20, "scl": 21}
i2c = PimoroniI2C(**PINS_BREAKOUT_GARDEN)
bme = BreakoutBME280(i2c)
```
## Reading Temperature, Pressure & Humidity
The `read` method will return a tuple containing Temperature (degrees C), Pressure (Pa) and Humidity (RH %) values:
```python
temperature, pressure, humidity = bme.read()
```
## Configuring The Sensor
The `configure` method allows you to set up the oversampling, filtering and operation mode.
```python
bmp.configure(filter, standby_time, os_pressure, os_humidity, os_temp, mode)
```
The `breakout_bme280` module includes constants for these:
### Filter Settings
* `FILTER_COEFF_OFF`
* `FILTER_COEFF_2`
* `FILTER_COEFF_4`
* `FILTER_COEFF_8`
* `FILTER_COEFF_16`
### Oversampling Settings
* `NO_OVERSAMPLING`
* `OVERSAMPLING_1X`
* `OVERSAMPLING_2X`
* `OVERSAMPLING_4X`
* `OVERSAMPLING_8X`
* `OVERSAMPLING_16X`
### Mode Settings
* `SLEEP_MODE`
* `FORCED_MODE`
* `NORMAL_MODE`
### Standby/Output Data Rate Settings
* `STANDBY_TIME_0_5_MS`
* `STANDBY_TIME_62_5_MS`
* `STANDBY_TIME_125_MS`
* `STANDBY_TIME_250_MS`
* `STANDBY_TIME_500_MS`
* `STANDBY_TIME_1000_MS`
* `STANDBY_TIME_2000_MS`
* `STANDBY_TIME_4000_MS`
### Defaults
```python
bme.configure(FILTER_COEFF_2, STANDBY_TIME_0_5_MS, OVERSAMPLING_16X, OVERSAMPLING_2X, OVERSAMPLING_1X)
```
