static gas resistance on sensor readings

[ratio-x]

Not sure if this is the right place for reporting this issue: I'm using BME688 on an Adafruit breakout with the proprietary arduino <bsec.h> library. Temperature, humidity an pressure readings work fine. Only the gas resistance is constant in every reading (12946860 Ohms), and subsequently all other derived/calculated measures (IAQ, CO2 equivalent, breath VOC equivalent) are hanging at their lowes values.

BSEC library version 1.4.8.0

I tested with <Adafruit_BME680.h> library, which works fine and outputs reasonable and changing (slowly increasing) gas resistance values. Am I missing something? Configuration of the heater...?

I used the example script from the Arduino library.

Thank you.

Hi @ratio-x , you are probably using a BME688 with a BME680 library. For the core sensor library, it is recommended to update to Bosch-BME68x-Library and for BSEC, Bosch-BSEC2-Library
