Sparkfun BME280 library quit working

Projects General Guidance
1

I've used this library for several years and now it stops working. Using Sparkfun BME280 Ver 2.0.9, Arduino IDE 2.3.2 and Espressif ESP32 ver. 2.0.14.

When I run the Example 1 Basic Readings I get and error "The sensor did not respond. Please check wiring." I've used several different wire jumpers and different BME280 boards - all the same. Did a I2C scan and port 0x76 is there.

Any suggestions? I've found the Expressif ESP32 board software to be a problem before. LEDControl library works with version ESP32 version 1.0.6 but not of the 2.x versions.

Thanks, Theron Wierenga

Has the library changed? You are using a different IDE.

The library hasn't changed, the Arduino IDE continually changes. I suspect Arduino IDE not backward compatible.

The sensor might actually be malfunctioning.

the Arduino IDE continually changes

The default IDE for downloading is upgraded from time to time, but all the stable, older versions remain available. The Sparkfun BME280 library works fine for me on Arduino 1.8.19.
