Connecting SenseAir’s LP8 CO2 Sensor to Arduino
via UART" has text Arduino code. Upon copying the code into the Arduino IDE, I discovered that parens and curly braces did not match up, and there is a serious issue with line endings.Compiling produced lots of errors. After spending several hours attempting to edit and compile, I contacted the folks at CO2meter.com, and a very helpful tech sent me a couple of files of Arduino code. The code compiled, but I wasn't able to get a response from the sensor.
Hooked up the o'scope, and discovered I had made an old and familiar mistake: had accidentally transposed TX and RX.OK, sensor working. Whew.
Next steps:
port the code over to the Adafruit Adalogger M0.
Get the RTC working.
Log data to the Adalogger SD memory card.
