Very cool indeed and I stumbled upon this via an Adafruit BME688 board that I have primarily to "collect" environmental data while hiking (a marginally useless real world application!!). At first I laughed at the association of a gas sensor and AI. After watching the videos am very impressed. The coffee tutorial almost makes a great teaching moment for people and neural nets. Well done!!
Won't the heat of gas hot place mess with temperature/humidity data? If so, how much time can i read temperature/humidity after running an gas reading?

Hello everyone. I'm starting to develop an iot sensor node with BME688. I have 2 questions. 1. During the detection phase of Bme688, is it logical for the hole side to face up or down? So, is it recommended that the hole part of the sensor be above, below, or on the sides of the knot? 2. Using the Bme688 sensor, I want to make an IoT node with IP67 or at least IP65 protection. How can I get this protection for Bme688 without dulling its sensor features? Is there a made example of this or a special cover for this job?
Is there a chance that Bosch will release a configuration for detecting VOC components? It would be good to at least have an approximate idea of what constitutes the indoor VOCs, such as Formaldehyde, Benzene, Butadiene, and Styrene. I know that AI Studio exists, but without a lab, it is quite difficult to train the sensor for this purpose. This would greatly help in identifying and eliminating the sources.
When I upload the configuration onto the SD card individually and then place it back into the kit I can't seem to import the configuration file at all. In fact it doesn't even show up for me to select. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Thalamus Hyper, We plan to officially release the BME AI Studio mobile app on Google Play and App Store later this year but the Android apk can be downloaded from our website. PS: We plan to publish the updated Android apk version in our website by mid of April 2023. Your Bosch Sensortec team
Hi. When I press the connect button at 05:03 seconds, I get the error "Error: There seems to be a problem with the .config file on the SD card" and I cannot connect to the board. What could be the problem?

Hi Hamdi, It is possible to send the prediction data to another medium other than the mobile app, as long as that board is equipped with Bluetooth and can connect to the BME688 development Kit. Your Bosch Sensortec team
@@BoschSensortec Hello, I collected data using the BME688 Development Kit, then I trained and evaluated the algorithm and exported it as an .aiconfig file, similar to the video. Now, I want to connect the BME688 Dev kit board with the LoRa-E5 Development Kit (with STM32WLE5), using I2C to test the sensors with STM32. How do I integrate the .aiconfig file into my CubeIDE project?

Hello Technology as Enabler, We have included the required BSEC library for Raspberry Pi and the integration guide document in our latest BSEC release package (available for download in our website).

@@BoschSensortec Hello, Thank you for the reply. I was able to set the system up using raspberry pi 4 and measured temperature, pressure, humidity and gas resistance using .temperature, .pressure, .humidity and .gas. Can I also use .IAQ and .CO2 or something to obtain air quality and CO2? I downloaded BSEC library but pretty hard to integrate into my raspberry pi, do you have an example I can look at? Can my current setup work with AI studio?

Hi johniron, To update the firmware of the development kit, please follow the below steps: 1. Download the latest BME688 development kit software from the Bosch sensortec website (www.bosch-sensortec.com/) 2. Connect the development kit to the computer, go to the device manager and check the com port number under ports. 3. Extract the folder, navigate inside the directory and double click on flash.bat file. 4. Enter the com port number, for example if com port is 3 type “COM3” and if com port is 21 type “COM21” 5. Once the program flashing is successfully completed it will finally display “Enter any key to exit…..” All the best, your Bosch Sensortec team

What is the background mechanism of the sensor?
Hi lordofsiam,
The BME688 gas sensor is a MOX (Metal Oxide) based sensor.
