Measure indoor air quality—total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and equivalent CO2 (eCO2)—with this digital sensor for Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
The SGP30 sensor measures two different types of gases: volatile organic compounds (like hydrocarbons) and equivalent carbon dioxide (H2 level is used as a proxy for this). The sensor does some nifty real-time baseline compensation to give you the most accurate readings, with just a 10-15% margin of error and minimal drift through time.
Important! The sensor has a PTFE membrane over it (it looks like a slightly translucent white film). Do not peel it off! This is a gas-permeable membrane that is required for the sensor to function as intended.
Includes:
- SGP30 breakout
- 1×5 male header
- 1×5 female right angle header
This breakout board is designed so that you can solderon the piece of right angle female header and pop it straight ontothe bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi’s GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 9).
