CO₂ Humidity and Temperature Sensor - SCD30

The SCD30 by Sensirion is a top - notch NDIR - based CO₂ sensor. It can detect CO₂ levels from 400 to 10000ppm with an accuracy of ±(30ppm + 3%). It has built - in temperature and humidity sensing to boost accuracy and commands to set the current altitude. We've crafted an Arduino library for easy reading of CO₂, humidity, and temperature. You can download it via the Arduino Library manager by searching for 'SparkFun SCD30' or from here. We suggest using a Qwiic Breadboard Cable to connect the SCD30 to a Qwiic - compatible board. The yellow wire goes into the SCL pin. The SCD30 also has a serial interface, though we haven't explored it. For extra accuracy, it can accept ambient pressure readings. We recommend using it with the Qwiic Pressure Sensor - MS5637 or the Qwiic Environmental Sensor - BME680 to get the current barometric pressure. Note that the SCD30 has an automatic self - calibration routine. Sensirion advises 7 days of continuous readings with at least 1 hour a day of 'fresh air' for self - calibration. Also, SparkX products aren't regularly stocked, so grab them while you can! SparkX products are quickly made to offer you the latest technology. They're tested but come with no guarantees and no live technical support. Visit our forum for help or questions.

Using the SCD30 is a breeze. First, connect it to a Qwiic - compatible board with a Qwiic Breadboard Cable. Make sure to put the yellow wire in the SCL pin. To read the CO₂, humidity, and temperature data, download our Arduino library through the Arduino Library manager by searching for 'SparkFun SCD30' or from the provided link. For better accuracy, you can pair it with the Qwiic Pressure Sensor - MS5637 or the Qwiic Environmental Sensor - BME680 to get the current barometric pressure. Regarding self - calibration, let it take continuous readings for 7 days, with at least 1 hour a day of fresh air. Remember, SparkX products are experimental. They've been tested, but there are no guarantees and no live technical support. If you run into any issues or have questions, head over to our forum. Also, since we don't regularly stock all SparkX products, get yours while it's available.
