Sensirion SGP40 VOC Sensor I2C driver for MicroPython

Sensirion SGP40 is a digital VOC (volatile organic compound) sensor. This is a I2C driver written in Python 3 for MicroPython.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Wiring

Wire the I2C bus to the I2C bus on your MicroPython board. This is an example using the Pyboard D:

PyboardSGP40
X15 (3V3)VDD
X14 (GND)GND
X9SCL
X10SDA

Usage

This example reads the measurements in a continous loop:

import time
from machine import I2C, Pin
from sgp40 import SGP40

i2cbus = I2C(1)
sgp40 = SGP40(i2c, 0x59)

while True:
    sgp40.measure_raw()
    time.sleep(1)

This returns raw data from the sensor. The data is meant to be processed by the Sensirion specific VOC Algorithm, which returns air quality reflected by an index.
