Das Air Quality 9 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine mit einer erstklassigen Luftqualitätssensorlösung. Diese Platine verfügt über den ENS160, eine digitale Mehrgassensorlösung auf Basis von Metalloxid-Technologie (MOX) mit vier MOx-Sensorelementen von ScioSense. Jedes Sensorelement verfügt über eine unabhängige Heizplattensteuerung zur Erkennung einer Vielzahl von Gasen. Die ENS160-Serie verfügt über TrueVOC™-Luftqualitätserkennung und unterstützt intelligente Algorithmen, die CO2-Äquivalente, TVOC, Luftqualitätsindex (AQI) berechnen und Feuchtigkeits- und Temperaturkompensation durchführen. Dieses Click Board™ ist schnittstellenkonfigurierbar und zeichnet sich durch hervorragende Langzeitstabilität und Lebensdauer aus. Dieses Click Board™ ist eine ausgezeichnete Wahl zur Erkennung ungesunder Luftbedingungen, wie z. B. persönliche Luftqualitätsmonitore, HLK, intelligente Thermostate und andere luftqualitätsbezogene Anwendungen.
Das Air Quality 9 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Air Quality 9 Click Board™ Work?
The Air Quality 9 Click Board™ is based on the ENS160, an indoor air quality sensor based on metal oxide (MOX) technology with four MOx sensor elements from ScioSense. This sensor comes with sophisticated sensor fusion algorithms to produce measurement outputs that are better tuned to the natural response of human occupants. The multi-element TrueVOC™ technology, on which the ENS160 is based, is sensitive to oxidizing gases such as ozone which affect the quality of indoor air, as well as to a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as ethanol, toluene, as well as hydrogen and nitrogen dioxide with superior selectivity and accuracy. The ENS160 complies with worldwide Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) signal standards and is designed for high volume and reliability.
For best performance, the sensor needs to be operated in normal indoor air in the range -5 to 60°C (typical: 25°C), while relative humidity ranges from 20 to 80%RH (typical: 50%RH), non-condensing with no aggressive or poisonous gases present. Prolonged exposure to environments outside these conditions can affect the performance and lifetime of the sensor.
The Air Quality 9 Click Board™ allows using both I2C and SPI interfaces with a maximum frequency of 1MHz for I2C and 10MHz for SPI communication. The selection can be made by positioning SMD jumpers labelled as COMM SEL to an appropriate position. Note that all the jumpers' positions must be on the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. While the I2C interface is selected, the ENS160 allows choosing the least significant bit (LSB) of its I2C slave address using the SMD jumper labelled ADDR SEL. This Click board™ also possesses an additional interrupt signal, routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as INT, indicating the status of the measurement process itself.
The ENS160 also requires a supply voltage of 1.8V to work regularly. Therefore, a small LDO regulator, AP2112 from Diodes Incorporated, provides a 1.8V out of mikroBUS™ 3V3 power rail. This LDO can be enabled or disabled through the EN pin routed to the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™ socket; hence, offering a switch operation to turn ON/OFF power delivery to the ENS160.
The Air Quality 9 Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
