Temp, Humidity CO2 sensor and library.

[DirtGambit]

I dont know rob, I havent opened the sensor to find out, also i dont know if they have altered the firmware of sensor to stop outputting null values if the sensor has no ldr fitted, the sensors output is always rh,Temp,unfiltered co2, filtered co2.

badwheels thats quite a demand from any all in one sensor, the cozir does most of what you need, if you were to have all those separate you would have quite a breadboard and be in wire/lib hell, your project sounds cool though good luck.

Hi all,
Does anyone have an idea where to get COZIR.h library ?

[robtillaart]

yes.
the lib is attached on the first post (it includes the .h file)

[robtillaart]

latest version I have is 1.03 - see attachment - but it is a long time since I edited in it. there may be some work in progress on some points in it.
Note that the calibration functions must be used careful and do not use them if you don't understand their impact.

If you have comments remarks let us know.

Do you have code that works on an arm nxp lpc1769 ?

My CO2 readings seem high what's the best way to calibrate this device. I only have outside air to calibrate against.

many thanks

[DirtGambit]

Just calibrate via fresh air which gives a value of about 380, maybe your in an area of high co2, I have a main road next to my house with a lot of traffic and average values were 420-450, are your values wildly out of range?

[nschmal1]

What program did you use to display the graphs of the temperature, humidity, co2?

hi!

I'm using a COZIR™ Wide Range Sensor, http://www.gassensing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/COZIR_-WideRange_-Datasheet_GSS.pdf, and I tried to use the cozir.h library as mentioned in the first post, but without success. Must I observe some particular attention? I'm tryng it with only usb cable attached to my Arduino UNO, perhaps I need an external 12V input for Arduino? I need only 3.3v to power the sensor.

I receive nothing from sensor, all zeroed values...

I tried also the sample from Cozir for this sensor to read byte-to-byte from serial but I receive only 255 and never 0x0A for end transmission.

please help me thx.

One often occuring problem with rs322 devices is that rx and tx need to be reversed. Did you try that?

Furthermore the sensor high bit is only 3.3Volt. The UNO needs at least 4.5 volt to recognize it as a HIGH signal. Check this with a voltmeter.
You might need a 3.3<->5 voltage converter for this.

Furthermore you could check if the analog out gives a (changing) voltage. Can you check?

Hi robtillaart

which pin I could check for analog voltage?

I have an external max3232 interface, which pins I must connect? I found that:

sensor tx: t1n
sensor rx: r1out
arduino tx: r1n
arduino rx: t1out

it's correct? I receive nothing :-(

[robtillaart]

which pin I could check for analog voltage?

according to - http://www.gassensing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/COZIR_-WideRange_-Datasheet_GSS.pdf -

pin 9 is analogue

I receive nothing :-(

A voltmeter should be able to detect a signal from the TX pin of the sensor.

this is the way to connect serial devices.
sensor TX --> Arduino RX
senosr RX <-- Arduino TX

(disclaimer, I don't have this sensor myself)

[foxlox]

Hi robtillaart,

I connected the sensor as you hint, with 5v instead of 3.3v and it works correctely.

thx!!!

[robtillaart]

Good to hear that!

If you have remarks wrt the lib please post it in this thread
that might be things missing, buggy, etc

[jjaroska]

Does anybody have a picture of the inside of the enclosure or DirtGambit, would it be too much trouble to see the inside of the box?  Also, does anybody have a link for that enclosure?

Thanks

[robtillaart]

You can send him a PM with your request...
