GP v30 01: Electrochemical gas sensors

This is the basic code to manage and read an electrochemical gas sensor. These sensors include: CO, O2, O3, NO, NO2, SO2, NH3, H2, H2S, HCl, HCN, PH3, ETO and Cl2.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x Gases PRO board v30 1 x Temperature, Humidity and Pressure sensor BME280 1 x Electrochemical Gas Sensor [Calibrated]

Notes

- Remember to connect the battery to Waspmote for proper operation. - The connection of the sensor is described in the Gases PRO v30 technical guide. - Cycle time: 2 minutes
