Hey there, I'm creating a project that needs to measure humidity, temperature, and air pressure, and write that data to an SD card. I'm pretty new to Arduino so forgive me if I make some mistakes, or my code looks bad.
The data I'm getting for the BMP280 sensor is incorrect, giving me negative pressures and quite toasty temperatures (186 degrees Celcius!). When I run the example code from the Adafruit BMP280 library on the same circuit, it gives me correct readings, which makes me think this is a software problem.
Could this be from having to share the SCK, MISO, MOSI pins?
Thanks in advance!
