1 week ago Unfortunately there's nothing wrong with the library. According to the datasheet the the ETOH values are just the TVOC values, because the TVOC values are calibrated for ethanol! You can see that here:
"_Virtual Mirror of the ethanol-calibrated DATATVOC Register"
...and again here "_DATA_ETOH (0x22) = DATATVOC"
I also left notes within the library noting that the values share the same register. They are in fact the same....
#define SFE_ENS160_DATA_TVOC 0x22
// TVOC Data - shares register with ethanol data
typedef struct
{
uint8_t tvoc_msb : 8;
uint8_t tvoc_lsb : 8;
} sfe_ens160_data_tvoc_t;
#define SFE_ENS160_DATA_ETOH 0x22
// Ethanol Data - shares register with TVOC data
typedef struct
{
uint8_t etoh_msb : 8;
uint8_t etoh_lsb : 8;
} sfe_ens160_data_etho_t;Hope this helps.
I use the Indoor Air Quality Sensor (ENS160, SEN-20844) and some other sensors connected to the DataLogger IoT (DEV-22462, firmware 01.02.00) via Qwiic. When reading the air quality parameters, the values for ENS160.TVOC and for ENS160.ETOH are always identical. Eg. (column 7 and 8):

My post in the sparkfun forum was answered by TS-Russell - he guess it is a typo in the library and he asked me to create an issue here... which I have done now :-)
Can this be fixed? Thanks in advance!
