The SCD-40 is a true CO₂ sensing module that directly measures carbon dioxide concentration in ambient air using photoacoustic sensing technology. Unlike gas sensors that estimate CO₂ levels from VOC readings, this module measures actual CO₂ concentration (PPM), providing reliable and repeatable results.
The SCD-40 is a true CO₂ sensing module that directly measures carbon dioxide concentration in ambient air using photoacoustic sensing technology. Unlike gas sensors that estimate CO₂ levels from VOC readings, this module measures actual CO₂ concentration (PPM), providing reliable and repeatable results.
In addition to CO₂, the module also integrates temperature and relative humidity sensing, making it a compact 3-in-1 environmental sensor. Compared to earlier CO₂ sensor designs, the SCD-40 offers similar measurement quality in a much smaller footprint, making it suitable for embedded and space-constrained projects.
The sensor communicates via I2C and is mounted on a STEMMA QT / Qwiic compatible breakout board, allowing solder-free connections and easy daisy-chaining with other I2C devices.
