Introduction

CircuitPython library for the Adafruit SGP40 Air Quality Sensor / VOC Index Sensor Breakouts

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython
• Bus Device
• Register

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-sgp40

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-sgp40

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-sgp40

Usage Example

import time
import board
import busio

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
sgp = adafruit_sgp40(i2c)

while True:
    print("Measurement: ", sgp.raw)
    print("")
    sleep(1)
