Product information "Pimoroni SCD41 CO2 Sensor Breakout (CO2, temperature, humidity)"

SCD41 is a high-precision sensor that uses photoacoustic technology to measure the exact amount of carbon dioxide (in ppm) in the air you breathe. It can also measure temperature and relative humidity.

Too much carbon dioxide has all sorts of unpleasant effects on humans, e.g. it increases your tiredness and lowers your brain power. CO2 concentration is a useful indicator of how well ventilated a room is and also how many people are breathing the same air - a variable that is important to keep an eye on in homes, workplaces and schools. SCD41 is the extended range variant of this sensor, meaning it can detect very high CO2 levels of up to 5,000 ppm, so it could potentially be useful in industrial and laboratory environments too.

We've tested this sensor in some of the tighter ducts and bilges at Pimoroni HQ, and it's remarkable how sensitive it is - you can really see the change in CO2 levels when someone enters or leaves a room, or when doors are opened or closed.

This breakout is compatible with our fancy Breakout Garden system, where using breakouts is so easy that you just plug it into one of the slots and start cultivating your project, tinkering and coding. It's also StemmaQT/Qwiic compatible, so it can plug-n-play with even more microcontrollers and HATS.

Features
  • Sensiron SCD41 carbon dioxide sensor(data sheet)
    • Photoacoustic sensor technology PASens®
    • High accuracy: ±(40 ppm + 5 %)
    • Range: 400 ppm ? 5.000 ppm
  • I2C interface, with address: 0x62
  • Qwiic/STEMMA QT connection
  • 3-5V compatible
  • Reverse polarity protection (on breakout garden connection)
  • Raspberry Pi-compatible pin assignment (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
  • Compatible with Raspberry Pi(Python library)
  • Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico(C++/MicroPython libraries)
  • Circuit diagram
  • Dimensions: approx. 24mm x 21mm x 8mm (L x W x H, including sensor)
Scope of delivery
  • SCD41 Breakout
  • 1x5 pin header
  • 1x5 right-angled female connector
We have designed this breakout board so that you can solder the piece of right-angled female header and plug it directly onto the bottom left 5 pins of the GPIO header of your Raspberry Pi (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). The right-angled header also has the advantage of positioning the breakout away from the Pi's CPU to minimise waste heat.

Software

We have put together a Python library along with examples to show you how to get readings from the sensor.
You can also use this breakout with Raspberry Pi Pico and other RP2040 boards, C++ or MicroPython.

Optimize your Raspberry Pi - with Pimoroni

Pimoni is the expert when it comes to equipping your Raspberry Pi with high-quality add-on modules. The successful company was founded in 2012 in Sheffield, England, and now also has a branch in Essen, Germany. According to the University of Sheffield, Pimoroni is even considered one of the fastest growing manufacturing companies in the UK.

The electronics specialist has the right solution for almost every need around the Raspberry Pi. The product range also includes the Pimoroni Fan Shim, a powerful 30mm CPU fan for the Raspberry Pi, which is one of the top sellers from Pimoroni. The Fan Shim manages a powerful 4,200 RPM and delivers significant added value by optimizing the thermal performance of your Raspberry Pi. Compatibility exists with the Raspberry Pi 4, but also with the 3 B+ and 3 A+ models.

The fan is equipped with RGB LED and a tactile switch, making it wonderfully controllable. The LED serves as an indicator to track the fan status and CPU load/temperature. The tactile switch is also handy: With the help of the included Python library and a daemon, you can program it to switch between temperature-controlled automatic mode and manual mode. Thanks to its "friction-fit" header, the Pimoroni Fan Shim can easily be plugged onto the pins of your mini computer and is ready to go without soldering. In general, the installation is uncomplicated and should not take more than two minutes. While the fan is doing its job, the noise level is very low: The maximum value is only 18.6 dB.

Apart from the Pimoroni Fan Shim, many other top products from Pimoroni are available at Berrybase. The Pibow Coupé 4 is recommended for all owners of a Raspberry Pi 4: The compact case reliably protects your mini computer from external influences like dust or shocks. All ports remain open and thus accessible. The high-quality processed and easy to mount frame for the official 7" Raspberry Pi touchscreen display also fulfills its protective function perfectly. With the Pirate Audio HAT you get a first-class 3W stereo amplifier for your mini computer: Use the module in combination with your Raspberry Pi and your speakers to control the playback of your favorite music and to create powerful sound.

Depending on what you have in mind, you can also use other modules from Pimoroni, such as LED sensors, camera modules or the Pico HAT Hacker.

Safety instructions
  • Avoid contact with water, moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • When handling electricity, ensure that the module is de-energised.
  • Connect the connections correctly; reverse polarity can damage the module and other components.
  • Only operate sensors within the intended voltage range; check the technical specifications.
  • Do not subject to mechanical stress, bend or drop to avoid damage.
  • Dispose of in accordance with local regulations for electronic waste.
  • Keep away from children and animals, as small parts can be swallowed.
  • In the event of recognisable damage or malfunctions, take out of service immediately and do not continue to use.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and magnetic fields, as these can impair the function.
  • Do not carry out any unauthorised modifications or repairs in order not to jeopardise safety and the warranty.
