The iNose X6 is a high-precision environmental sensor capable of detecting formaldehyde (HCHO), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), carbon monoxide (CO), air quality index (IAQ), temperature, and humidity. The sensor supports UART communication, LED control, sleep/wake functions, and is compatible with multiple platforms, including Arduino, ESP32, RP2040/RP2350, and Raspberry Pi.
The library supports UART port and baud rate configuration. Default settings:
- Baud rate: 9600
- Raspberry Pi 5 / CM5: /dev/ttyAMA0
- Other Raspberry Pi models: /dev/ttyS0
- Arduino / ESP32 / RP2040: Hardware UART
Supported features:
- Gas concentration detection: HCHO, TVOC, CO, IAQ
- Temperature and humidity measurement
- Reading sensor parameters (type, range, unit)
- LED control
- Sleep / wake functions
- Reading serial number and firmware version
