BME280 with Teensy 4.1

Wiring for the GY-BME280 breakout on the Teensy 4.1 (MIMXRT1062DVJ6B, 3.3 V logic), chosen with the same pin rules BoardPilot uses: default buses first, and no pins that are used for flash, USB, the debugger or booting.

Test code (Arduino)

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Wire.begin();  // SDA = 18, SCL = 19 (the board's default I2C pins)
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x76);
  bool found = Wire.endTransmission() == 0;
  Serial.println(found ? "GY-BME280 breakout found at 0x76" : "Not found: check power, GND and SDA/SCL");
}

void loop() {}

Questions

Which Teensy 4.1 pins do I use for the BME280?

VIN → 3V, GND → G, SCL → 19 (GPIO_AD_B1_00), SDA → 18 (GPIO_AD_B1_01).

Does the BME280 work with the Teensy 4.1 at 3.3 V?

Yes: the BME280 runs at 3.3 V and the Teensy 4.1 uses 3.3 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.

What is the I2C address of the BME280?

0x76 or 0x77. An I2C scan (BoardPilot does it for you) shows which one your module uses.

BoardPilot checks this wiring in 3D as you build it, and finds crossed or missing wires on the real board.
