LamaPLC: AHT20 / BMP280 Modul

This compact module integrates an AHT20 sensor for air temperature and humidity with a BMP280 sensor for air pressure, offering a complete overview of environmental conditions. Both sensors are popular for their accuracy and small size. Communication is straightforward through the I²C interface, compatible with various microcontrollers, with an operating voltage range of 2-5V.

For some reason, the Adafruit BMP280 library doesn't work reliably. It eventually freezes so severely that it only functions when the Arduino is powered off. I tried different parameter settings, but it didn't make a difference. It seems that the BMx280MI library written by Gregor Christandl works better.
