The SCD-40 and SCD-41 have the same pinouts.
Power Pins
- VIN - This is the power pin. To power the board, give it the same power as the logic level of your microcontroller - e.g. for a 3V microcontroller like a Feather M4, use 3V, or for a 5V microcontroller like Arduino, use 5V.
- 3Vo - This is the output from the onboard 3.3V regulator. If you have a need for a clean 3.3V output, you can use this! It can provide at least 100mA output.
- GND - This is common ground for power and logic.
I2C Logic Pins
The default I2C address for the SCD-4x is 0x62.
- SCL - I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C clock line. There's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- SDA - I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C data line. There's a 10K pullup on this pin.
- STEMMA QT - These connectors allow you to connectors to development boards with STEMMA QT connectors or to other things with various associated accessories.
Jumpers
The SCD-4x can run from 3 to 5V DC, for both power and I2C data/logic. Normally that would mean we wouldn't put a regulator and logic level shifter on the breakout. However, the SCD-4x also does best with a quiet power supply that can also supply ~200mA peak. Since that may or may not be the same as the logic power supply of the microcontroller, advanced users can customize the power/logic level setup for the sensor.
On the left is the level-shifted I2C logic level. Most of the time, Vin is the power and logic level for the microcontroller. However, if you are, say, powering from 5v because it's a better power supply source, but are using a 3V logic microcontroller, you can cut and re-solder this jumper.
On the right is the Sensor Power jumper. By default we power the sensor through the 3V regulator. If you happen to have a nice and quiet Vin power supply, you can cut and re-solder this jumper.
