Temperature / Pressure Reading Too High

[pi_user]

Saw one other post without resolution on this, but I’m seeing too high of expected readings from my BerryGPS-IMUv3, specifically temperature and pressure. Temperature seems to be fairly consistent at ~85 F, when at the moment it should be around 65-70 at most.

Pressure is also reading very high at ~1017 hPa, which puts me around 117 ft below sea level. I live just about at sea level, roughly 6 ft above.

While I’m not using the device for mission critical reasons, it also wasn’t particularly cheap – just wondering if there’s any basic troubleshooting I could do or if there are known calibration offsets to use.

For what it’s worth, this is attached to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and I’m using the following settings:

CTRL_MEAS: 0x2F (Temperature OS x1, Pressure OS x4, Normal Mode)

CONFIG: 0xB0 (Standby 1000ms, Filter 16)

Are you using the code from here?

And is it the BMP180 or BMP280?

It’s the BMP280. And yea, I copied the code from there. Here is a gist of my impl: https://gist.github.com/ryanleesmith/076f206370635a0f331a304f6b8abdbf
