• 5V Power Cable
• Multimeter (optional)

Steps

1. 1. Installation: Assemble the Leaf Maple on your circuit.
2. 2. Connection: Connect to pin A0 of Arduino.
3. 3. Power Supply: Power the Leaf Maple with 5V.
4. 4. Verification: Use the multimeter to check the current.
5. 5. Code: Load the following sketch.
6. 6. Test: Check the humidity and temperature values.
7. 7. Configuration: Adapt the code to your needs.
8. 8. Monitoring: Connect the Leaf Maple to a display to visualize the data.

Example code

```
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <Adafruit_BME280.h>

Adafruit_BME280 bme;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  if (!bme.begin(0x76)) {
    Serial.println("Could not find a valid BME280 sensor, check wiring!" );
    while (1); // halt
  }
}

void loop() {
  float temperature = bme.readTemperature();
  float humidity = bme.readHumidity();
  Serial.print("Temp = ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.print(" *C Humidity = ");
  Serial.print(humidity);
  Serial.println(" %");
  delay(2000);
}
```
