Introduction

The SparkFun Indoor Air Quality Sensor - SCD41 SEN55 (Qwiic) combines two excellent indoor air quality sensors in the SCD41 and SEN55 from Sensirion to provide a comprehensive indoor air quality sensor that measures CO2, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM1.0, 2.5, 4, and 10) along with temperature and relative humidity.

Required Materials

To follow along with this guide you will need a microcontroller to communicate with the Air Quality Combo Board. Below are a few options that come Qwiic-enabled out of the box:

If your chosen microcontroller is not already Qwiic-enabled, you can add that functionality with one or more of the following items:

You will also need at least one Qwiic cable to connect the air quality sensor board to your microcontroller:

Optional Materials

If you prefer a soldered connection or want to modify the solder jumpers on this board, you may need some of the products listed below:
