Qwiic Micro Pressure Sensor BMP581 not compatible with Artemis OpenLog

Development Boards Artemis
1

I’m trying to hook up 8 SparkFun micro pressure sensors (BMP581) to a Qwiic 8ch mux to a sparkfun OpenLog Artemis (DEV-16832). I noticed this sensor was not supported by default and was wondering how I might be able to log 8 of these to a CSV file without changing the functionality of the logger. The Artemis is able to detect the mux (at address 0x70), but not the sensors-- it says that an unknown device was detected at their default address 0x47. Are there plans to add support for the BMP581?

Any alternate approaches would be appreciated as well; such as creating a new script that does all this from scratch. I tried running some basic example code like Blink, and they upload successfully but don’t blink. Are there extra steps I’m missing in order to initialize the Artemis in void setup()? Thank you!

Read through this thread Possibility of patching OpenLog Artemis to support TMP102 sensor? which is a somewhat similar situation…you’d need to figure out the default address of the bmp581 and customize the firmware to have it work natively

You can also use a different logger

I was able to successfully add support for the TMP102 sensor, but I have also done a lot of programming before. It wasn’t particularly difficult programming, but setting up the development environment relied upon some of my prior experience and I wouldn’t recommend that path for a novice. The easiest solution is to stick with sensors already supported in the default Artemis open log firmware.
