 Okay, IonMPI, this week brought to you by DigiKey, and it is from Sincerion, what is the IonMPI this week? Okay, we're back with another Sincerion one. This just popped up on the digikey.com slash new page, and I do love a good Sincerion sensor. We've featured them a lot, but ever since the SHT10, these people have been rocking out. They've been coming out with one great product after the other, and this week is no different. It's part of a new series. It's the first of the Sin5X, it's the Sin54. It looks just like a particulate sensor, and you might be like, hey, is this just another PM25 sensor? There are so many of those, and I'm like, yes, it does have a particulate sensor, but also has other sensors available. So this is the eval board version. There's basically two versions, one with the cables, one without. So the Sin54 or the Sin5X series, it's kind of a four in one. It is a particulate sensor, but it also has a temperature and humidity sensor built in, which most particulate sensors don't have. And on top of that, it also has VOC, and there's one model that has an NOX sensor as well. So two gas sensors, humidity and temperature, which is kind of nice. It's like all in one. It's got all the different data signals, because there's multiple PM signals. There could be multiple VOC signals, humidity and temperature, and it all comes out of one I2C or UART port for very quick calibration and usage. And I just love that it's like this little box. You have a cable, you plug it in, and it's like kind of all of your sensing is taken care of, and you're all sensing the same air at the same time. So that's also kind of a nicety with this all in one sensor platform. So there's a few of these. The Sin50 and the Sin55 don't exist quite yet. The Sin54 is what is currently available. It doesn't have the NOX sensor, but it does have the VOC, the Volatile Organic Compound Sensor, and it has the particulate matter and temperature and humidity. So just FYI, there's a family. We're only covering the Sin54. You know, inside there's a little processor that handles all these readings. There's a laser particulate sensor. There is the gas sensor is an SGP 31 or 41. Can't remember the exact part number. And sorry, the SGP, yeah, the SGP41 is the gas sensor. The SHT30 is the temperature and humidity sensor, or I could have those numbers reversed. Either way, basically they took existing sensor sensors and popped them into the body. And I can actually show that real fast on the overhead. Just autofocus here. So in this body, you can kind of see this is, I took it apart so you can see the laser here. And then over here, if you look very carefully, you can see this little white dot. That's the SGP30 and that's the SHT40 or 41. And then this is the laser sensor. And then if you look also really carefully, you can see the little shiny square here. That's the particular sensor that looks for the reflections off of the laser to count and detect particles. Okay, so that's just a quick aside to show how it's put together. So it's in one box. You know, it's all, it's not fully enclosed. Of course, there's a fan that will pull air in, but you can kind of put it at the outlet of a box that you have protected so you can have air come in and then it gets ejected out the side. And you know, there's no like o-ring, but there's a little bit of semi-sealing, like it's not going to, whatever air comes in isn't necessarily going to get your whole sensor dusty. It's just going to be that channel in the center there. There's also 3D modeling files that you can use if you want to model how this would fit into your HVAC system or your home air quality monitor or other indoor air quality monitoring. You will need a cable to connect to the sensor. There is power and ground that you need. So that's five volt power that's pretty usual for particular sensors because there's a fan, it's a five volt fan. And there's two data lines. The data lines can be either I squared C data and clock or they can be UART, RX and TX. And you actually get to pick because the fifth wire is the interface selection you pull ground for I squared C and pull high for UART. I don't use I squared C to be honest, but UART I'm imagining has very similar data output as most PM 2.5 sensors that kind of blast out once a second on the PM data encoded in this CRC binary hex data. There is lots of library code for this, which is really nice. So I was able to get this up and running very quickly because they wrote Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and generic embedded for whatever STM or NXP chip drivers and they just kind of work. So you don't have to bring up the boards and sensors by writing all that code yourself. They do have libraries and example codes way to go, which is quite nice. There's even a BLE gadget library example, which I thought was really cool because it uses an ESP32 and then you just load the example sketch onto your ESP32 wire up to the main I squared C port. And you've got this, you can use their app to read the sensor data. So let's go quickly to the overhead again. And I can show it. So this is the sensor. Now I'm not going to get proper readings, of course, because I've opened this up. And so it thinks that there's all this particular matter. And just because there's no, the light is being messed up here a little bit, the laser's got stuff in between it. But you do see up here humidity, 19%, temperature, 27 degrees, VOC 68. And if I breathe on it. It turns pink. Yeah, you'll see. The humidity starts going up quite a bit. And the temperature is going to cool a bit. And also probably the PM 2.5. The PM 2.5, by the way, is going to be all messed up because it's exposed. But it's a nice all in one sensor. I mean, it's convenient for if you need to have your humidity and temperature and VOC, you want to do air quality measurements. But you don't expose the entire body of your electronics. This kind of gives you this channel of exposure that is sort of separated from the rest of the electronics. And like I said, while there isn't a O-ring necessarily, it's going to give you better ceiling than you'd probably do yourself while still exposing the air channel, which is from the fan here. Air comes in through this channel and then gets ejected out. So all in one, very convenient. And it uses the sensors you know and love, the SHT40 and the SGP30. And their particular sensor, ready to go. You just need a cable, plug it in, and you can use their Arduino or... Available on Digi-Key, we have a link in the chat. And then also you can check out the short URL and the product number right there. There's also the eval kit that comes with cables. And you can buy it. There's a lot in stock, actually. Which is a great feature of products now. Yes. Being able to buy them. So pick one up and that is IonMPI this week.
