Product description: Fermion - ENS160 air quality sensor - DFRobot SEN0515
The sensor module is based on the ENS160 chip, which is used to monitor indoor air cleanliness. It processes IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) data such as TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds), eCO2 (equivalent CO2), AQI (Air Quality Index). It is powered by 3.3 V. The module consumes very little power and is very accurate. It communicates via I2C and SPI interfaces.
The product is compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi 4B
The manufacturer has prepared detailed user guide and library for Arduino IDE environment.
