Are your sensor_address values correct? Why not try with 0x77?
The number represents the same value just in a binary format. I also use this code like that and its not an issue.
0b11101110 for me seems to be the same as 0xEE or should I read it right to left?
@jdelaet
You are right and made me insecure for a moment. 
But then I remberd its a 7bit address followed by 0. So its 1110111 plus a 0. Thats why I wrote most of the sensor address in this format.
Without ā¦ I hope to try WITH in next one to two daysā¦
However it also leads to this questionā¦
Why was this fork created?
https://developer.mbed.org/teams/HereLab/code/BME280/
and might it āspecificallyā assist us with this issueā¦
Could you take a look and give your thoughtsā¦?
Thank you!
Tested BME280 WITH pullups and result is NO change (sorry to say)
I have tested with:
a) 10Kohm resistor between VCC and SDA
b) 10Kohm resistor between VCC and SCL
c) Used address 0x76
d) Found address using I2C_scanner mbed program
e) Set this for BME280 ONLY to remove any other āpossible confilctsā
f) See the image below:
Any thoughts on this āsetupā?
Sorry to hear that 
.
The only thing Iāve seen in the other library you mentioned is that they are using directly 0x76 or 0x77. But you mentioned that youāve tested that too.
Iāve seen that Iām using the" binary 7bit address plus" for MAX44009 and BME280 and the Hex Format for the others. Itās strange and truly not properly coded but it works.
Iāve to take a deeper look into my code the next days but at the moment I canāt imagine that something is wrong with it because it works perfectly with my Hardware. My I2C_RT should also be correct because it is used by all the other Sensors that work on your Hardware too.
@Halfbrain Its WORKING!!!
Here is the solution:
a) 10Kohm resistors across SDL and SCK
b) Use this value for the address
'#define BME280_SENSOR_ADDRESS 0b11101100 /**< Sensor address */
Done!
Thank you so much for through this with meā¦ Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
In summary EVERYTHING is working correctly with the exception of sending packets to TTN as ASCII instead of Binaryā¦ Let me know when you think you will be able to ātackleā thatā¦ Thanks again for all!

So glad we could solve that 
So you are using the standard adress 0b11101100 (0x76) and just mounted the pull ups? Does the diymall and adafruit sensor work?
a) Yes, using ā0b11101100ā and mounted the pullups
NOTE: (0x76) is the value that I reported, last night, did NOT workā¦
It was only this morning when I realized, so I changed it to the binary value and it does work
b) Diymal is working ā¦ for this Successā¦ I will wire up Adafruit tonight and provide to you the resultsā¦
@Halfbrain Good News to reportā¦ Adafruit BME280 Works with Sensornode program
a) Using 10Kohm Resistors pullups on both SDA and SCL
and
b) using binary address: ā0b11101110ā
See image: Cooling from āHair Dryer Testā
I think now you can update your Wiki for BME280 with these results. They should solve others need to connect BME280āsā¦ Thank youā¦
Happy to annouce you that my Firmware is now able to
receive and process Downlink Messages.
More infos on how to use it can be found on my Wiki LoRa Downlink Messages Page I wrote.
If you have some Questions or Feedback donāt hesitate to post it in this thread.

Hi shmrymbd,
Whats your question? You arenāt using my the firmware iāve written?
hi. i need a custom channelā¦ for as920-923 channeling. so i dont know which code is good to start with. thansk anyway for the reply
Hello man i used you code ,im using Bme 280 to gather pressure temp this what i get it doesnt make sense right?
Hi. Glad you are using it. Your data seems legit. These are the hex values you see. For example 42 31 3A is B 1 : .
To get a human readable format i suggest you to log into your ttn console then in your application go to payloadformats and under decoder you enter this code part:
function Decoder(bytes) {
var result="";
for (var i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
result += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(bytes[i]));
}
return {
payload: result,
};
}
This will decode the hex values in to ascii and you will be able to read the payload.
If any further questions donāt hesitate to ask.
you are really helpful thanks ,am doing research after i gather data am going to use it and do some machine learning am kind of lost so i might ask you questions along the way ,thank you very much
so B1 is temp and B 2 is pressure?
