Hardware Assembly

Now that we're familiar with the SCD4X sensors and these breakouts, it's time to assemble it into a circuit.

Qwiic Assembly

SparkFun's Qwiic system makes assembling a circuit a breeze. Simply plug the breakout into your chosen microcontroller with a Qwiic cable. After assembling your circuit, it should look similar to the photo below:

Reminder, for ideal results, make sure to fully calibrate the SCD4X by taking continuous measurements for one hour every day for seven days.

Soldered Assembly

Those who prefer a traditional soldered assembly should solder wires or header pins to the PTH header on the side of the board. If you're not familiar with through-hole soldering or would like a refresher, take a look at our Through-Hole Soldering Tutorial:
