Two wires are for power and two for communications. Power is supplied from the Pi 3V3 pin which is connected to the board's Vin pin. For safety you may wire the board with the Pi disconnected from it's power source and only power it up when satisfied the wiring is correct.

 +Install [[projects:telegraph|Telegraph]] and use it's BME280 demo for PHP and the apache2 web server to create and display graphs of the sensor (see the three graphs on this page). 
 + 
 +Within the [[projects:telegraph|Telegraph]] directory you will find the `demo' directory and within 
 +that `bme280'. Two further directories exist, the `etc' directory demonstrates how to set up telegraph to poll the BME280 device and store the results in a database. The `htdocs' directory contains files which you can be served by the apache2 web server to display images like the examples on this web page.
