The Story
Assess local air quality with this compact TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds) gas sensor from Waveshare, with its ability to detect TVOC, CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide), and CH₂O (Formaldehyde) concentrations in the environment.
The sensor connects to your microcontroller using the included SH1.0 6-pin cable assembly, with female header ends ready to plug into your dev boards' GPIO pins. It operates at 5V, communicates via UART and includes 2mm/M2 mounting holes for securing to your project.
The product wiki includes examples for using this sensor with Raspberry Pi, Pico, Arduino, ESP32-S3 and STM32.
