Installation of the library

This library can be installed using the Arduino Library manager: Start the Arduino IDE and open the Library Manager via

Sketch ➔ Include Library ➔ Manage Libraries...

Search for the Sensirion I2C SFX6XXX library in the Filter your search... field and install it by clicking the install button.

If you cannot find it in the library manager, download the latest release as .zip file and add it to your Arduino IDE via

Sketch ➔ Include Library ➔ Add .ZIP Library...

Don't forget to install the dependencies listed below the same way via library manager or Add .ZIP Library

Sensor wiring

Use the following pin description to connect your SFX6XXX to the standard I²C bus of your Arduino board:

Pin	Cable Color	Name	Description	Comments
1	red	VDD	Supply Voltage	+24V
2	black	GND	Ground
3		NC	Do not connect
4	yellow	SCL	I2C: Serial clock input
5	purple	ADDR		Leave floating for default i2c address 0x24
6	green	SDA	I2C: Serial data input / output

The recommended voltage is 24V.

Quick Start

Install the libraries and dependencies according to Installation of the library
Connect the SFX6XXX sensor to your Arduino as explained in Sensor wiring
Open the exampleUsage sample project within the Arduino IDE:

File ➔ Examples ➔ Sensirion I2C SFX6XXX ➔ exampleUsage

The provided example is working with a SFC6000, I²C address 0x24. In order to use the code with another product or I²C address you need to change it in the code of examples/exampleUsage. You find the list with pre-defined addresses in src/SensirionI2CSFX6XXX.h.
Click the Upload button in the Arduino IDE or Sketch ➔ Upload
When the upload process has finished, open the Serial Monitor or Serial Plotter via the Tools menu to observe the measurement values. Note that the Baud Rate in the used tool has to be set to 115200 baud.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome!

We develop and test this driver using our company internal tools (version control, continuous integration, code review etc.) and automatically synchronize the master branch with GitHub. But this doesn't mean that we don't respond to issues or don't accept pull requests on GitHub. In fact, you're very welcome to open issues or create pull requests :)

This Sensirion library uses clang-format to standardize the formatting of all our .cpp and .h files. Make sure your contributions are formatted accordingly:

The -i flag will apply the format changes to the files listed.

clang-format -i src/*.cpp src/*.h

Note that differences from this formatting will result in a failed build until they are fixed. :
