This document explains how to set up a SCD30 sensor to run on a Arduino
Click here to learn more about the Sensirion SCD30 sensor.
The default I²C address of SCD30 is 0x61.
Your sensor has the 5 different pins you need to connect to your Arduino Board: VDD, GND, SCL, SDA, SEL. Use the following pins to connect your SCD30:
Pin | Cable Color | Name | Description | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | red | VDD | Supply Voltage | 3.3 to 5.5V |
2 | black | GND | Ground | |
3 | yellow | SCL | I2C: Serial clock input | |
4 | green | SDA | I2C: Serial data input / output | |
5 | RDY | High when data is available | do not connect | |
6 | PWM | do not connect | ||
7 | blue | SEL | Interface select | Pull to ground or floating for I2c |
You can find the pinout for specific boards under following links:
This library can be installed using the Arduino Library manager: Start the Arduino IDE and open the Library Manager via
Sketch => Include Library => Manage Libraries...
Search for the Sensririon I2C SCD30
library in the Filter your search...
field and install it by clicking the install
button.
If you cannot find it in the library manager, download the latest release as .zip file and add it to your Arduino IDE via
Sketch => Include Library => Add .ZIP Library...
Don't forget to install the dependencies listed below the same way via library
manager or Add .ZIP Library
Connect the SCD30 Sensor to your Arduino board's standard I2C bus. Check the pinout of your Arduino board to find the correct pins. The pinout of the SCD30 Sensor is described above.
The recommended voltage is 3.3V.
Open the exampleUsage
sample project within the Arduino IDE via the application menu
File => Examples => Sensirion I2C SCD30 => exampleUsage
Click the Upload
button in the Arduino IDE or
Sketch => Upload
When the upload process has finished, open the Serial Monitor
or Serial Plotter
via the Tools
menu to observe the measurement values. Note that
the Baud Rate
in the corresponding window has to be set to 115200 baud
.
Contributions are welcome!
We develop and test this driver using our company internal tools (version control, continuous integration, code review etc.) and automatically synchronize the master branch with GitHub. But this doesn't mean that we don't respond to issues or don't accept pull requests on GitHub. In fact, you're very welcome to open issues or create pull requests :)
This Sensirion library uses
clang-format
to standardize the
formatting of all our .cpp
and .h
files. Make sure your contributions are
formatted accordingly:
The -i
flag will apply the format changes to the files listed.
clang-format -i src/*.cpp src/*.h
Note that differences from this formatting will result in a failed build until they are fixed.
