The Grove-VOC and eCO2 Gas Sensor(SGP30) is an air quality detection sensor. This grove module is based on SGP30, we provide TVOC(Total Volatile Organic Compounds) and CO2eq output for this module.
The SGP30 is a digital multi-pixel gas sensor designed for easy integration into air purifier, demand-controlled ventilation, and IoT applications. Sensirion’s CMOSens®technology offers a complete sensor system on a single chip featuring a digital I2C interface, a temperature controlled micro hotplate, and two preprocessed indoor air quality signals. As the first metal-oxide gas sensor featuring multiple sensing elements on one chip, the SGP30 provides more detailed information about the air quality.
:::tip We've released the Seeed Gas Sensor Selection Guide, it will help you choose the gas sensor that best suits your needs. :::
With the SenseCAP S2110 controller and S2100 data logger, you can easily turn the Grove into a LoRaWAN® sensor. Seeed not only helps you with prototyping but also offers you the possibility to expand your project with the SenseCAP series of robust industrial sensors.
SenseCAP S210x series industrial sensors provide an out-of-box experience for environmental sensing. Please refer to the S2103 Wireless CO2, Temperature, and Humidity Sensor with higher performance and robustness for air quality monitoring. The series includes sensors for soil moisture, air temperature and humidity, light intensity, CO2, EC, and an 8-in-1 weather station. Try the latest SenseCAP S210x for your next successful industrial project.

Power
The typical operating voltage SGP30 is 1.8v, we use a power conversion chip XC6206P182MR to provide a stable 3.3V for the MCP9600.
Bi-directional level shifter circuit
This is a typical Bi-directional level shifter circuit to connect two different voltage section of an I^2^C bus. The I2C bus of this sensor use 1.8V, if the I2C bus of the Arduino use 5V or 3.3V, this circuit will be needed. In the schematic above, Q7 and Q8 are N-Channel MOSFET BSS138LT3G, which act as a bidirectional switch. In order to better understand this part, you can refer to the AN10441

:::caution The platforms mentioned above as supported is/are an indication of the module's hardware or theoritical compatibility. We only provide software library or code examples for Arduino platform in most cases. It is not possible to provide software library / demo code for all possible MCU platforms. Hence, users have to write their own software library. :::

-
Step 1. Download the Seeed SGP30 library from Github.
-
Step 2. Refer to How to install library to install library for Arduino.
-
Step 3. Extract the
SGP30_Gas_Sensor-master.zipyou've just downloaded, in theexamplesfolder you will see 3 subfolders:
The absolute_humidity_example requires external humidity sensor calibration
The base_example is simplely collecting date without any calibration
The baseline_operation_example can save the data base value to flash. The software will automatically collects the base values and stores them.
We recommand to use the baseline_operation_example , then click the xxx.ino file to open the example.
-
Step 4. Upload the demo. If you do not know how to upload the code, please check How to upload code.
-
Step 5. Open the Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE by click Tool-> Serial Monitor. Or tap the ++ctrl+shift+m++ key at the same time. if every thing goes well, you will get the result.
The result should be like:
318
tVOC Concentration:74ppb
CO2eq Concentration:506ppm
319

:::
- Step 1. Follow Setting Software to configure the development environment.
- Step 2. Download the source file by cloning the grove.py library.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Seeed_Python_SGP30.git
- Step 3. Excute below commands to run the code.
cd Seeed_Python_SGP30
sudo python3 setup.py install
cd examples
python3 sgp30_simpleread.py
Error
It might cause some errors but we should not worry about it.
We copy the path to the error file.
Here is the path that is shown as the example : “/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/sgp30-0.1.6-py3.7.egg/sgp30"
Use "cd" command to jump in that path and use your compiler to change the codes of "sgp30.py", for example : “sudo nano sgp30.py”.
We delete "SMBusWrapper" on the second line and then save it.
Go back to “Seeed_Python_SGP30/examples” folder，apply "python3 sgp30_simpleread.py" and all will be fine。
Following is the sgp30_simpleread.py code.
import seeed_sgp30
from grove.i2c import Bus
sgp30 = seeed_sgp30.grove_sgp30(Bus())
while True:
data = sgp30.read_measurements()
co2_eq_ppm, tvoc_ppb = data.data
print("\r tVOC = {} ppb CO2eq = {} ".format(
tvoc_ppb, co2_eq_ppm)):::success If everything goes well, you will be able to see the following result. :::

- The SGP30 uses a dynamic baseline compensation algorithm and on-chip calibration parameters to provide two complementary air quality signals. The baseline should be stored in EEPROM.When there is no baseline value in EEPROM at the first time power-ON or the baseline record is older than seven days.The sensor has to run for 12 hours until the baseline can be stored. You can refer to program flow chart blow.
-
The H2_Signal and Ethanol_signal,Both signals can be used to calculate gas concentrations c relative to a reference concentration cref by ln(C/Cref)=(Sref-Sout)/a with a = 512, sref the H2_signal or Ethanol_signal output at the reference concentration, and sout = Sout_H2 or Sout = Sout_EthOH.
-
For more accurate measurement,You can set the abslute humidity compensation,Defalt value is 11.57g/m3,A little troublesome is that you should get relatively humidity value of environment from another way,Because there is no humidity measurement part integrated in SGP30..
Luckly, It's not much neccessary in a normal situation
