Variable read times for BME280

[pmulvey]

I am using the bme280_float library. The bme280.altitude property sometimes takes different times to complete and it seems random (8 - 80mS). Anyone notice this before?

Code: Select all

while True: 
    a = ticks_ms()
    print ((accelerometer.get_values()['AcX']) / 4096)
    print (ticks_ms() - a)
    print (bme280.altitude)
    print (ticks_ms() - a)
    print ("------------------")
    sleep_ms(20)

Output:
