Hi
I am probably missing something really obvious , but have hit a dead end trying to resolve issue this so hoping you guys can help !
I have an Expresiff ESP32-S breadboarded with an BME280 sensor connected as per the BuildWeb Servers tutorial.
Running the following code from the Arduino IDE I get the sensor data output to the serial monitor as expected implying thew sensor is found ok. The data looks correct and varies as expected.
Arduino IDE Code :
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <Adafruit_BME280.h>
#define SEALEVELPRESSURE_HPA (1013.25)
#define LED 2
Adafruit_BME280 bme; // I2C
unsigned long delayTime;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
Serial.println(F(“BME280 test”));
bool status;
// default settings
// (you can also pass in a Wire library object like &Wire2)
status = bme.begin(0x76);
if (!status) {
Serial.println(“Could not find a valid BME280 sensor, check wiring!”);
while (1);
}
Serial.println(“– Default Test –“);
delayTime = 5000;
Serial.println();
}

void loop() {

printValues();
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
delay(delayTime);
digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
delay(delayTime);
}
void printValues() {
Serial.print(“Temperature = “);
Serial.print(bme.readTemperature());
Serial.println(” *C”);
/*
// Convert temperature to Fahrenheit
Serial.print(“Temperature = “);
Serial.print(1.8 * bme.readTemperature() + 32);
Serial.println(” *F”);
*/

Serial.print(“Pressure = “);
Serial.print(bme.readPressure() / 100.0F);
Serial.println(” hPa”);
Serial.print(“Approx. Altitude = “);
Serial.print(bme.readAltitude(SEALEVELPRESSURE_HPA));
Serial.println(” m”);
Serial.print(“Humidity = “);
Serial.print(bme.readHumidity());
Serial.println(” %”);
Serial.println();
}
To me this proves the ESP is ok , the BME is ok and the wiring ok ?
Then I run this code ( same intended functionality ) from VSCode/PlatformIO :

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_BME280.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>

Adafruit_BME280 bme280; // I2C

void setup() {
   
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println(F(“BME280 test”));
  if (!bme280.begin(0x76)) {
  Serial.println(“Could not find a valid BME280 sensor, check wiring!”);
  while (1);
  }
}
 
void loop() {  
}

It prints “Could not find a valid BME280 sensor, check wiring!” in the serial monitor.
platformio.ini :

[env:fm-devkit]
platform = espressif32
board = fm-devkit
framework = arduino
lib_deps = 
    adafruit/Adafruit BME280 Library@^2.1.2
    adafruit/Adafruit Unified Sensor@^1.1.4
I am confident I have the same librarys loaded in each environment.
Can anyone explain why one IDE ( Arduino ) can see the sensor , but not the other ( VSCode )?
Thanks
