Working with Raspberry Pi

Enable I2C interface

  • Open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo raspi-config 
#Choose Interfacing Options -> I2C ->yes  to enable the I2C interface

  • Restart Raspberry Pi
sudo reboot

Install libraries

  • Install BCM2835，open the terminal and run the following command
wget http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.60.tar.gz
tar zxvf bcm2835-1.60.tar.gz 
cd bcm2835-1.60/
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make check
sudo make install
  • Install wiringpi
sudo apt-get install wiringpi
cd /tmp
wget https://project-downloads.drogon.net/wiringpi-latest.deb
sudo dpkg -i wiringpi-latest.deb
gpio -v

Download and test the demo codes

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/6/62/SGP40_Voc_Sensor_code.7z
7z x SGP40_Voc_Sensor_code.7z -r -o./SGP40_Voc_Sensor_code
sudo chmod 777 -R  SGP40_Voc_Sensor_code

C codes

cd
cd SGP40_Voc_Sensor_code/RPI/c
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo ./main

python codes

cd
cd SGP40_Voc_Sensor_code/RPI/python
sudo python SGP40.py
  • Note: This sensor is extremely sensitive to ethanol
  • Note: The sensor starts with a heating process, during which the raw data slowly increases until it stabilizes.
