This repository contains an Arduino implementation for MH-Z CO2 sensors, including MH-Z14A, MH-Z19B, and MH-Z19C. It aims to consolidate information on these sensors in one place for easy access.
The sensor is available for ~20 bucks at the usual places.
Refer to the provided example for implementation details.
PPMuart: 602, PPMpwm: 595, Temperature: 23
C ppm = 5000 * (T_high - 2 ms) / (T_high + T_low - 4ms)
The implementation primarily draws from this Arduino forum post.
By default, the PWM range value is set to 5000. You do not need to change anything in the class constructor if the Cppm value is within the expected range of 400-1000. However, if necessary, you can test it with a 2000 range value:
#include <MHZ.h>
#define CO2_IN 9
MHZ co2(CO2_IN, MHZ::MHZ19B); // here the range value is set to 5000 by default (RANGE_5K)
int ppm = co2.readCO2PWM();#include <MHZ.h>
#define MH_Z19_RX 10
#define MH_Z19_TX 11
MHZ co2(MH_Z19_RX, MH_Z19_TX, MHZ19B);
int ppm = co2.readCO2UART();All MH sensors work mostly the same. They only differ in detection range and timings.
Here is a list of all explicitly supported sensors:
