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 Breakout

We'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 IoT

To 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.
