Sensor Constructors

AtlasScientificCO2(int8_t powerPin, uint8_t i2cAddressHex = ATLAS_CO2_I2C_ADDR, uint8_t measurementsToAverage = 1) explicit

Construct a new Atlas Scientific CO2 object using the primary hardware I2C instance.

Parameters
powerPin

The pin on the mcu controlling powering to the Atlas CO2 circuit. Use -1 if it is continuously powered.

  • Requires a 3.3V and 5V power supply
i2cAddressHex The I2C address of the Atlas circuit; optional with the Atlas-supplied default address of 0x69.
measurementsToAverage The number of measurements to take and average before giving a "final" result from the sensor; optional with a default value of 1.

AtlasScientificCO2(TwoWire* theI2C, int8_t powerPin, uint8_t i2cAddressHex = ATLAS_CO2_I2C_ADDR, uint8_t measurementsToAverage = 1)

Construct a new Atlas Scientific CO2 object using a secondary hardware I2C instance.

Parameters
theI2C A TwoWire instance for I2C communication. Due to the limitations of the Arduino core, only a hardware I2C instance can be used. For an AVR board, there is only one I2C instance possible and this form of the constructor should not be used. For a SAMD board, this can be used if a secondary I2C port is created on one of the extra SERCOMs.
powerPin

The pin on the mcu controlling powering to the Atlas CO2 circuit. Use -1 if it is continuously powered.

  • Requires a 3.3V and 5V power supply
i2cAddressHex The I2C address of the Atlas circuit; optional with the Atlas-supplied default address of 0x69.
measurementsToAverage The number of measurements to take and average before giving a "final" result from the sensor; optional with a default value of 1.


Example Code

The Atlas CO2 sensor is used in the menu a la carte example.

#include <sensors/AtlasScientificCO2.h>

// NOTE: Use -1 for any pins that don't apply or aren't being used.
const int8_t AtlasCO2Power    = sensorPowerPin;  // Power pin
uint8_t      AtlasCO2i2c_addr = 0x69;  // Default for CO2-EZO is 0x69 (105)
// All Atlas sensors have different default I2C addresses, but any of them can
// be re-addressed to any 8 bit number.  If using the default address for any
// Atlas Scientific sensor, you may omit this argument.

// Create an Atlas Scientific CO2 sensor object
// AtlasScientificCO2 atlasCO2(AtlasCO2Power, AtlasCO2i2c_addr);
AtlasScientificCO2 atlasCO2(AtlasCO2Power);

// Create concentration and temperature variable pointers for the EZO-CO2
Variable* atlasCO2CO2 = new AtlasScientificCO2_CO2(
    &atlasCO2, "12345678-abcd-1234-ef00-1234567890ab");
Variable* atlasCO2Temp = new AtlasScientificCO2_Temp(
    &atlasCO2, "12345678-abcd-1234-ef00-1234567890ab");
