S8 Library for serial communication (UART)

This library is for **Senseair S8 CO2** sensor to use with Arduino framework using serial communication (UART).

**Senseair S8 LP (004-0-0053)** is recommended for CO2 measurement in indoors for air quality application.



## Installation

### PlatformIO

Download S8_UART library and copy extracted folder into **PlatformIO\Projects** folder. Open **Visual Studio Code** and select the directory of the project. Modify **platformio.ini** file according your board and requirements. Open .cpp file of example and modify the parameters of **configuration section**. Build and upload the example selected of platformio.ini file.

### Arduino IDE

Go to **Documents\Arduino\libraries** and create the **S8_UART** directory. Download S8_UART library and copy the files of **src** folder into the new created folder.

To test the examples, copy the folder of the example into **Documents\Arduino\Projects** folder, rename the **.cpp** file of the example to **.ino**. Open the .ino file and modify the parameters of **configuration section**. In the menu of IDE select your board and compile and upload the program.



## Debug

Modify **CORE_DEBUG_LEVEL** variable to **1** in platformio.ini file to show only errors (in console) and to **5** value for full messages.
