I am very new to programming and electronics so this is very much a learning process. i have connected the MH-Z19B via UART - USB utilizing mycodo following direction in Kyle Gabriel's hydroponic automation write-up. It appears to be functioning and the operating system is communicating with the sensor however i cannot receive data back to the Pi 4. when reviewing the logs I see the sensor communicating every 15 secs however the error reads bad checksum. Below I have included an example of the log. i believe that is all the info needed as I assume this is a small issue i am over looking.
Thanks for any assistance.
