Description
The SparkFun Qwiic Particulate Matter Sensor uses Bosch’s ultra-compact BMV080 – the smallest PM sensor available at just 4.4 x 3.0 x 3.0 mm³, over 450 times smaller than similar devices. It detects PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 in real time using integrated lasers and photodiodes, without needing a fan.
The breakout board includes the BMV080 sensor connected via a flexible FPC cable, with a horizontal Qwiic connector to minimize soldering. For flexibility, 0.1" spaced pins are also available. It supports four jumper-selectable I²C addresses and can be reconfigured for SPI. A special lens allows laser measurements through the enclosure.
