Hello,
My first time ever using a BB platform. ID10T newbie.
I’m trying to use the board along with a BMP280 sensor for Pressure and Temperature.
I’m having no skill or luck with it. I’ve sprungboard off of a post showing how to implement a driver for the BMP085 which is an earlier version of the same sensor.
The link: BMP_on_the_Beagle_Bone_Black
I’ve tried the command line commands as such.
`
echo bmp280 0x77 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device
root@beaglebone:~# dmesg | grep bmp
[ 785.694384] i2c i2c-1: new_device: Instantiated device bmp280 at 0x77
root@beaglebone:~# cat /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/bmp280/1-0077/temp0_input
root@beaglebone:~# cat /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/bmp280/1-0077/temp0_input: No such file or directory
`
Not working as you can see.
Then I tried to modify and re-use Juan Corez example. Also, the same output. No such file or directory.

BMP280.js************
- Created on: 6-12-2013
- Revised on: 6-13-2013
- BMP085 Author: Juan Cortez, Modified by me for the BMP280.
- Works on: 06-08-12 image or later on both BeagleBone and BeagleBone Black
- Reads temperature and pressure from the BMP280 Sensor
- Input: Sensors on the BMP280 Sensor
- Output: Outputs the readings on the console.
- Special Instructions: Run code once as it is. You will get an error but it is OK.
- Comment out the b.writeTextFile(bmp280…); line, save and run the code again.

var b = require(‘bonescript’);

/* We will initialize the driver for the BMP280 sensor located at I2C location 0x77./

//b.writeTextFile(bmp280 + ‘new_device’, ‘bmp280 0x77’);
/Comment out the line above after you run the code once**********/
/* Opens,reads, and prints pressure and temperature. */
b.readTextFile(pressure, printPressure);
b.readTextFile(temperature,printTemperature);
/* Prints Pressure */
function printPressure(x) {
console.log("Pressure: “, x.data/100 + " millibar”);
}
/* Prints Temperature */
function printTemperature(x){
console.log("Temperature: “, x.data/10 + ‘\xB0’ + " Celcius”); // ‘\xB0’ is decimal in hexademical
x.data /= 10;
x.data *= 1.8;
x.data += 32;
console.log("or: “, x.data + ‘\xB0’ + " Fahrenheit”);
}

Could someone please gently point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
