Sensirion I²C SFM3304 Arduino Library

This is the Sensirion SFM3304 library for Arduino allowing you to communicate with a SFM3304 sensor over I²C.

Click here to learn more about the Sensirion SFM3304 sensor.

The default I²C address of SFM3304 is 0x2E.

Installation of the library

This library can be installed using the Arduino Library manager: Start the Arduino IDE and open the Library Manager via

SketchInclude LibraryManage Libraries...

Search for the Sensirion I2C SFM3304 library in the Filter your search... field and install it by clicking the install button.

If you cannot find it in the library manager, download the latest release as .zip file and add it to your Arduino IDE via

SketchInclude LibraryAdd .ZIP Library...

Don't forget to install the dependencies listed below the same way via library manager or Add .ZIP Library

Dependencies

Connect the sensor

Use the following pin description to connect your SFM3304 to the standard I²C bus of your Arduino board:

Pin Cable Color Name Description Comments
1 NC Do not connect Ground for the heater
2 red VDD Supply Voltage 3.15V to 3.45V
3 yellow SCL I2C: Serial clock input
4 black GND Ground
5 green SDA I2C: Serial data input / output
6 NC Do not connect Supply voltage to the heater

The recommended voltage is 3.3V.

Quick Start

  1. Install the libraries and dependencies according to Installation of the library

  2. Connect the SFM3304 sensor to your Arduino as explained in Connect the sensor

  3. Open the exampleUsage sample project within the Arduino IDE:

    FileExamplesSensirion I2C SFM3304exampleUsage

  4. Click the Upload button in the Arduino IDE or SketchUpload

  5. When the upload process has finished, open the Serial Monitor or Serial Plotter via the Tools menu to observe the measurement values. Note that the Baud Rate in the used tool has to be set to 115200 baud.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome!

This Sensirion library uses clang-format to standardize the formatting of all our .cpp and .h files. Make sure your contributions are formatted accordingly:

The -i flag will apply the format changes to the files listed.

clang-format -i src/*.cpp src/*.h

Note that differences from this formatting will result in a failed build until they are fixed. :
