Electronics

This project is as simple as it can be. Glue the three components on each position given by the "CO2 Buddy base" and connect them according to the schematic below.

  • red - 5V
  • black - GND
  • yellow - I2C SCL
  • green - I2C DATA
  • blue - NEOPIXEL DATA

Software

The Arduino code below will fade from green (800ppm) over yellow (1400ppm) to red (2000ppm) and send the current CO2 value on a Serial COM port (9600baud) every 5sec.
