Hey!
I just got my BMP280 working with the BMP280test example from the Adafruit library. The sensor is outputting reasonable data, but it regularily has spikes to a certain value. In the attached picture you can see the temperature jumping to 180.25°C and the same spike to a certain value is also happening with the pressure reading. I am using a breadboard and i noticed these spikes happen especially when i slightly slam the breadboard on my desk or wiggle this sensor. Is this simply happening because of slightly imperfect connections due to the breadboard? Is there any way to solve this through changes to the hardware? It wouldn't be a hard thing to filter these values out, but maybe someone knows why I'm having these spikes.
Thanks in advance
I think that is very likely, in which case you know the solution - better connections.

When you finish your project solder all connections.

could it be the Serial baud rate is set too high? Try 57600 or less.
