Environmental Sensors

Sensors that measure environmental parameters

Configure sensor blocks that primarily measure environmental parameters such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, and so on.

Blocks

BME68x Gas SensorMeasure barometric air pressure, relative humidity, ambient temperature, IAQ, eCO2, and bVOC from BME68x sensor (Since R2022b)
BMP280 Pressure SensorMeasure barometric air pressure and ambient temperature from BMP280 sensor (Since R2022b)
CCS811 Air Quality SensorMeasure equivalent CO2 (eCO2) and the equivalent total volatile organic compound concentration (eTVOC) (Since R2022a)
HTS221 Humidity SensorMeasure relative humidity and temperature from HTS221 sensor (Since R2021a)
LPS22HB Pressure SensorMeasure barometric air pressure and temperature from LPS22HB sensor (Since R2021a)

Develop Multi-Sensor Dashboard Using Arduino

Measure equivalent carbon dioxide (eCO2) concentration levels and equivalent total volatile organic compound (eTVOC) concentration levels using the CCS811 Air Quality Sensor block from the Simulink® Support Package for Arduino® Hardware. The model notifies you when the eCO2 and eTVOC levels cross the acceptable thresholds through an alarm lamp on the dashboard. You can publish the eCO2 and eTVOC concentration levels on a ThingSpeak™ channel. You can also display the sensor data on an Android® application using dashboard display. In the latter case, the Arduino hardware board acts as a host that sends the sensor data while the Android device acts as a client that accepts this data over the TCP/IP network and displays the data on the application dashboard.
