How to change the standby time?
I need to take every 250ms one sample.

Standby time can be changed in the BME280 constructor.

However, standby time is only used in normal mode; in forced mode, which is the default, the measurements are taken at whatever rate you ask for them.

Thanks for the reply! everything works ok.
How to change the standby time and/or the mode, within my code not from the library?
Is it possible to set 1 sample/10minutes? I need to save power in one of my nodes.

You're welcome.

Yes, when you call the constructor in your code, the standby time is the 5th argument.

For example:

BME280 bme(1, 1, 1, 1, 4);

Would set the standby time to 250ms, set the oversampling rates to one and put the sensor in normal mode.
