Description

The SCD-40 breakout is perfect for indoor/outdoor air quality and CO2 measurements. It has a range of 400~2000 ppm with an accuracy of +-(50 ppm + 5% of reading). The SCD-40 is a photoacoustic true CO2 sensor that will tell you the CO2 PPM (parts-per-million) composition of ambient air. This sensor can run from 3.3 to 5V but it's more important for it to have a quiet power supply with low ripple, than any particular voltage. For that reason we've added a 3.3V regulator and level shifters: when connecting to a 5V microcontroller like an Arduino UNO the 5V supply is often shared with other electronic components that add noise. The onboard regulator will keep the voltage nice and quiet. For advanced hackers, they can cut/solder the back traces to change whether the regulator is enabled and what I2C logic level is desired.
