+    :param ~busio.I2C i2c_bus: The I2C bus the SCD30 is connected to.
+    :param int ambient_pressure: Ambient pressure compensation. Defaults to :const:`0`
+    :param int address: The I2C device address for the sensor. Default is :const:`0x61`
+
+    **Quickstart: Importing and using the SCD30**
+
+        Here is an example of using the :class:`SCD30` class.
+        First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            import board
+            import adafruit_scd30
+
+        Once this is done you can define your `board.I2C` object and define your sensor object
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            i2c = board.I2C()   # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
+            scd = adafruit_scd30.SCD30(i2c)
+
+        Now you have access to the CO2, temperature and humidity using
+        the :attr:`CO2`, :attr:`temperature` and :attr:`relative_humidity` attributes
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            temperature = scd.temperature
+            relative_humidity = scd.relative_humidity
+            co2_ppm_level = scd.CO2
