📌 Code Examples & Usage – SGP30 Air Quality Sensor (TVOC & eCO₂)
📋 Overview
The SGP30 is a digital air quality sensor from Sensirion that measures:
-
TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds) in ppb
-
eCO₂ (equivalent CO₂) in ppm
Unlike MQ sensors, the SGP30 provides calibrated digital readings via I²C, making it ideal for:
-
Indoor air quality monitoring
-
Smart home & HVAC systems
-
Environmental logging
-
IoT dashboards
-
Schools and offices
⚠ The SGP30 measures eCO₂ (equivalent CO₂), not true CO₂ concentration. It estimates CO₂ levels based on VOC measurements.
🔌 Wiring (I²C)
Typical Pinout
| SGP30 Pin | Arduino Uno | ESP32 (Example) |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | 3.3V or 5V | 3.3V |
| GND | GND | GND |
| SDA | A4 | GPIO21 |
| SCL | A5 | GPIO22 |
✔ Logic level compatible with 3.3 V & 5 V
✔ I²C address: 0x58
📦 Library Installation (Arduino IDE)
-
Open Arduino IDE
-
Go to Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries
-
Search for Adafruit SGP30
-
Install Adafruit SGP30 Sensor Library
🧪 1️⃣ Arduino Example – Basic Air Quality Readings
🧪 2️⃣ ESP32 Example
⏱ 3️⃣ Burn-In & Baseline (VERY IMPORTANT)
Initial Burn-In
-
First use: Allow 12–24 hours of continuous operation
-
Sensor must be powered and read once per second
Baseline Learning
The SGP30 self-calibrates over time. For best accuracy:
-
Run continuously for 7 days
-
Save baseline values periodically
-
Restore baseline after reboot (optional but recommended)
🧪 4️⃣ Baseline Save & Restore Example
✔ Ideal for battery-powered or restarted devices
✔ Baseline can be stored in EEPROM or flash
💧 5️⃣ Humidity Compensation (Recommended)
Providing humidity improves accuracy.
✔ Use with DHT22, SHT31, or similar sensors
✔ Improves stability and accuracy
📊 Understanding the Readings
eCO₂ (ppm)
| Range | Air Quality |
|---|---|
| < 800 | Excellent |
| 800–1200 | Good |
| 1200–2000 | Poor |
| > 2000 | Very poor |
TVOC (ppb)
| Range | Air Quality |
|---|---|
| < 150 | Excellent |
| 150–500 | Good |
| 500–1500 | Moderate |
| > 1500 | Poor |
🧠 Tips & Best Practices
✔ Read sensor once per second (required)
✔ Keep away from alcohol, solvents during calibration
✔ Do not power-cycle frequently during burn-in
✔ Allow airflow — do not seal inside airtight enclosures
✔ Use humidity compensation if possible
