+/***************************************************************************
+  This is a library for the BMP280 humidity, temperature & pressure sensor
+  This example shows how to take Sensor Events instead of direct readings
+  
+  Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit BMP280 Breakout
+  ----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/2651
+
+  These sensors use I2C or SPI to communicate, 2 or 4 pins are required
+  to interface.
+
+  Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code,
+  please support Adafruit andopen-source hardware by purchasing products
+  from Adafruit!
