CO2 sensor
Karol.Marchlewicz 2025-03-13 02:00:37 730 Views0 Replies So I've got this CO2 sensor https://wiki.dfrobot.com/CO2_Sensor_SKU_SEN0159#target_4
I've copied the code from website I've pasted it into ARDUINO IDE, I uploaded it I opened serial monitor and the result first starts to rise from 2300ppm and goes to about 5000ppm and one time it's 5300ppm second later its 4400ppm and with a little change its going like that one time this then this.

that's the code
could someone help me? PLEASE
