# SCD4x Library

This is a library to interface with the Sensirion SCD4x in Arduino using the I2C protocol.
This is a library to interface with the Sensirion SCD4x true CO2 sensors in Arduino using the I2C protocol.

## 🖼️ Schematic
![Schematic](/images/schematic.png)
- the scd4x sensor can draw up to 205ma peaks at 3.3V (only 18ma average) so make sure you have a robust power source (the above schematic has been tested to work)
- you only need to solder the 6 pins shown and the thermal pad on the underside to get it working
- unfortunately, I have not found a way to easily solder these sensors with a soldering iron, a oven or hotplate seems to be the only way
- look out for a temperature offset if you place the sensor in a case of sorts
