Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/PIM480:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Measure indoor air quality—total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and equivalent CO2 (eCO2)—with this digital sensor for Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The SGP30 sensor measures two different types of gases: volatile organic compounds (like hydrocarbons) and equivalent carbon dioxide (H2 level is used as a proxy for this). The sensor does some nifty real-time baseline compensation to give you the most accurate readings, with just a 10-15% margin of error and minimal drift through time. It's also compatible with the fancy [Breakout Garden](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-breakout-garden-hat-i2c-spi.html), where using breakouts is as easy as just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code. **Important**! The sensor has a PTFE membrane over it (it looks like a slightly translucent white film). Do not peel it off! This is a gas-permeable membrane that is required for the sensor to function as intended. **Features** - Sensiron SGP30 TVOC and eCO2 sensor - TVOC sensing from 0-60,000 ppb (parts per billion) - CO2 sensing from 400 to 60,000 ppm (parts per million) - 1Hz sampling rate - I2C interface(address 0x58) - 3.3V or 5V compatible - Reverse polarity protection - Raspberry Pi-compatible pinout (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) - Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi, and Arduino - [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/sgp30-python) - [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/Sensirion_Gas_Sensors_SGP30_Datasheet_EN-1148053_11038db79d8.pdf) **Kit includes** - SGP30 breakout - 1x5 male header - 1x5 female right angle header Pimoroni has designed this breakout board so that you can solder on the piece of right-angle female header and pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 6, 9). **Software** Pimoroni has put together a [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/sgp30-python) that you can use to read data from your SGP30 breakout, and provided [an example](https://github.com/pimoroni/sgp30-python/blob/master/examples/test.py) of how to use the library. **Notes** When you first set the sensor running, it takes some time to warm up (up to a minute) before returning readings Dimensions: 19x19x3mm (LxWxH) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/s/g/sgp30-1_large.jpg)
