Hi, I didn’t write the code I’m using. I used an internet tutorial with a code walkthrough.
My programming level is pretty low.
Would you please suggest what I should change or add in the source code, if of course I’m not making it difficult for you.
Тhank you!

Figured out, that I needed to press the Reset Button. Then it worked.
Pull-up resistors (4.7kΩ on SDA & SCL) are recommended but often already included on BME280 modules.
