Interfacing Gravity Infrared CO2 Sensor with Arduino to Measure Carbon Dioxide in PPM
The expanding grouping of carbon dioxide noticeable all around has become a difficult issue now. As indicated by the NOAA report, the ozone CO2 fixation has arrived at 0.0385 percent (385 ppm) and it is the most noteworthy sum in 2.1 million years. This implies that in 1,000,000 particles of air, there are 385 particles of carbon dioxide. This rising degree of CO2 has influenced the climate gravely and driven us to confront the circumstance like environmental change and a dangerous atmospheric devation. There are many air quality estimating gadgets introduced on streets to tell the CO2 level, yet we can likewise assemble a DIY CO2 estimating gadget and can introduce it in our general vicinity.
In this instructional exercise, we are going to interface the Gravity Infrared CO2 Sensor with Arduino to quantify the CO2 fixation in PPM. Gravity Infrared CO2 Sensor is a high accuracy simple CO2 sensor. It quantifies the CO2 content in the scope of 0 to 5000 ppm. You can likewise check our past activities where we utilized the MQ135 Gas sensor, Sharp GP2Y1014AU0F Sensor, and Nova PM Sensor SDS011 to construct an air quality screen.
Components Required
- Arduino Nano
- Gravity Infrared CO2 Sensor V1.1
- Jumper Wires
- 0.96' SPI OLED Display Module
- Breadboard
Infrared CO2 Sensor Pinout:
As referenced before, the Infrared CO2 Sensor accompanies a 3-pin connector. The underneath figure and table shows the pin tasks for the Infrared CO2 Sensor:
Pin No. | Pin Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Signal | Analog Output (0.4~2V) |
| 2 | VCC | VCC (4.5~5.5V) |
| 3 | GND | GND |
Testing the Interfacing of Gravity Infrared CO2 Sensor with Arduino
When the equipment and code are prepared, the time has come to test the sensor. For that, associate the Arduino to the PC, select the Board and Port, and hit the transfer button. At that point open your chronic screen and sit tight for quite a while (preheat measure), at that point you'll see the last information.
