This is the Sensirion SCD30 library for Arduino allowing you to communicate with a SCD30 sensor over I²C.
Click here to learn more about the Sensirion SCD30 sensor.
The default I²C address of SCD30 is 0x61.
This library can be installed using the Arduino Library manager: Start the Arduino IDE and open the Library Manager via
Sketch
➔ Include Library
➔ Manage Libraries...
Search for the Sensirion I2C SCD30
library in the Filter your search...
field and install it by clicking the install
button.
If you cannot find it in the library manager, download the latest release as .zip file and add it to your Arduino IDE via
Sketch
➔ Include Library
➔ Add .ZIP Library...
Don't forget to install the dependencies listed below the same way via library
manager or Add .ZIP Library
Use the following pin description to connect your SCD30 to the standard I²C bus of your Arduino board:
Pin | Cable Color | Name | Description | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | red | VDD | Supply Voltage | 3.3V to 5.5V |
2 | black | GND | Ground | |
3 | yellow | SCL | I2C: Serial clock input | |
4 | green | SDA | I2C: Serial data input / output | |
5 | RDY | High when data is available - do not connect | ||
6 | PWM | do not connect | ||
7 | blue | SEL | Interface select | Pull to ground or floating for I2C |
The recommended voltage is 3.3V.

This Sensirion library uses
clang-format
to standardize the
formatting of all our .cpp
and .h
files. Make sure your contributions are
formatted accordingly:
The -i
flag will apply the format changes to the files listed.
clang-format -i src/*.cpp src/*.h
Note that differences from this formatting will result in a failed build until they are fixed. :
