SparkFun Air Quality PM1/PM2.5/PM10 Sensor - BMV080 (Qwiic)

Track environmental conditions with impressive precision using the SparkFun Air Quality PM1/PM2.5/PM10 Sensor. At its core is the Bosch BMV080 an incredibly small particulate matter sensor measuring a mere 4.4 × 3.0 × 3.0 mm³ making it over 450 times smaller than comparable devices on the market. By using a fanless design with ultra-compact lasers and integrated photodiodes this sensor employs sophisticated algorithms to measure particulate concentrations directly in free space.This method allows you to capture real-time actionable data for PM1 PM2.5 and PM10 without the bulk noise or mechanical wear of a traditional fan-driven sensor.Component-Ready BreakoutWe've integrated this micro-sensor onto a flexible breakout board housed neatly inside a protective enclosure. A specialized lens allows the laser to pass cleanly for measurements while shielding the internal components. Designed to fit easily into space-constrained setups the board streamlines your prototyping process while offering multiple configuration options.Solderless Qwiic Connection: Plug directly into the SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem via the onboard connector for immediate I2C communication no soldering required.Breadboard Friendly: Features standard 0.1-inch spaced breakout pins for users who prefer a traditional soldered connection or breadboard prototyping.Configurable Communication: Operates over I2C by default but can be quickly reconfigured via an onboard jumper to communicate over SPI.Address Expansion: Includes jumper-selectable options for four distinct I2C addresses (0x54 0x55 0x56 and 0x57 default) allowing you to chain multiple sensors on a single bus.Smart Integration for IoTTo get your project up and running quickly we have provided a fully supported Arduino Library that can be installed directly through the Arduino Library Manager by searching "SparkFun BMV080". This makes it exceptionally straightforward to pull real-time data and connect your sensor to automated systems.Whether you are building smart home automation setting up localized environmental monitoring networks or designing ultra-low-power IoT applications this sensor can easily trigger external alerts like buzzers and LEDs or push data to the cloud for instant email alerts and webhooks.
