 18  A CircuitPython driver for the Sensirion SGP30 gas sensor with eCO2 and TVOC output. This sensor uses I2C!
 19  
 20  Installation and Dependencies
 21  =============================
 22  This driver depends on:
 23  
 24  * `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
 25  * `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
 26  
 27  Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
 28  This is easily achieved by downloading
 29  `the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.
 30  
 31  Installing from PyPI
 32  --------------------
 33  
 34  On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
 35  PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-sgp30/>`_. To install for current user:
 36  
 37  .. code-block:: shell
 38  
 39      pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-sgp30
 40  
 41  To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
 42  
 43  .. code-block:: shell
 44  
 45      sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-sgp30
 46  
 47  To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
 48  
 49  .. code-block:: shell
 50  
 51      mkdir project-name && cd project-name
 52      python3 -m venv .env
 53      source .env/bin/activate
 54      pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-sgp30
 55  
 56  Usage Notes
 57  =============
 58  
 59  See `the guide <https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-sgp30-gas-tvoc-eco2-mox-sensor/circuitpython-wiring-test>`_
 60  for wiring and installation instructions.
 61  
 62  First, import the library:
 63  
 64  .. code-block:: python
 65  
 66      import busio
 67      import adafruit_sgp30
 68  
 69  Next, initialize the I2C bus object:
 70  
 71  .. code-block:: python
 72  
 73      import board
 74      i2c_bus = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA, frequency=100000)
 75  
 76  Since we have the I2C bus object, we can now use it to instantiate the SGP30 object:
 77  
 78  .. code-block:: python
 79  
 80      sgp30 = adafruit_sgp30.Adafruit_SGP30(i2c_bus)
 81  
 82  Reading from the Sensor
 83  ------------------------
 84  
 85  To read from the sensor:
 86  
 87  .. code-block:: python
 88  
 89      eCO2, TVOC = sgp30.iaq_measure()
 90      print("eCO2 = %d ppm \t TVOC = %d ppb" % (eCO2, TVOC))
 91
