Sensirion I²C SCD30 Arduino Library

This is the Sensirion SCD30 library for Arduino allowing you to communicate with a SCD30 sensor over I²C.

Click here to learn more about the Sensirion SCD30 sensor.

The default I²C address of SCD30 is 0x61.

Installation of the library

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 Sensirion 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

Dependencies

• Sensirion Core

Connect the sensor

Use the following pin description to connect your SCD30 to the standard I²C bus of your Arduino board:

Pin	Cable Color	Name	Description	Comments
1	red	VDD	Supply Voltage	3.3V 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

The recommended voltage is 3.3V.

Quick Start

1. Install the libraries and dependencies according to Installation of the library

2. Connect the SCD30 sensor to your Arduino as explained in Connect the sensor

3. Open the exampleUsage sample project within the Arduino IDE:

   File ➔ Examples ➔ Sensirion I2C SCD30 ➔ exampleUsage

4. Click the Upload button in the Arduino IDE or Sketch ➔ Upload

5. 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 used tool has to be set to 115200 baud.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome!

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. :
