Hello

I recently bought some MOD-BME280 for use in environmental sensing and altitude calculations. I am able to use the sensor with the i2c bus without any issue. I see on the website it says the breakout board supports SPI. However when I examine the datasheet I don't see how to use SPI. Is there a way to use the OLIMEX connector to implement SPI?

Thanks

Only 3-wire SPI is possible since SDO is either connected to VDDIO or to GND. Using CSB, SDI, SDC 3-wire SPI is possible, refer to the schematic:

And also the datasheet of BME280, page 38, table 35:
