So I'm basically completely new to Arduino (I've had some exposure before, so I understand the very basics of it), but right now I am trying to load code for the Adafruit BMP280 (barometric pressure/temperature sensor) onto an Arduino Nano for a science project. I did not write the code myself but I instead got it off of Github. The issue is that when I try to compile it, the programmer says "Error compiling for Arduino Nano board."
I copied the actual verbose error message, which reads:

Now, I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but from what I was reading, it may be related to I2C vs SPI. I'm not real sure on the major differences between the two, other than the fact that when I switch them I need to change the pinout. After doing some research, I still wasn't able to tell which values I should change. Can anyone help me figure this out please?
