Using the BMP680 outdoors.
Posted: 22 Jun 2022, 03:15
Does anyone have an idea how to protect the BMP680 sensor outside?
After about 9 months of operation, the BMP680 still correctly displays temperature and humidity, but the pressure and AQI readings are completely random (e.g. AQI = 1200).
Currently, the sensor is installed in a "housing" made of a plastic spray cap, with the open part facing down.
The whole thing is mounted under the roof and it never rains on it. I covered the plate itself with plastic spray, (without chip itself of course).
Nevertheless, the BMP was damaged.
Does anyone have any experience in this area?
