Pinout

  • Vin

    Power input for the VEML6070 breakout; Adafruit Learn states the sensor chip uses 3 to 5 VDC and the board should be powered at the microcontroller logic level.

    Type · powerVoltage · 3 to 5 VDC
  • GND

    Common ground for power and logic, as stated by Adafruit Learn.

    Type · groundVoltage · 0V
  • SCL

    I2C clock line; Adafruit Learn states this pin connects to the microcontroller I2C clock and can be used with 3V or 5V logic with a 10K pullup.

    Type · i2cVoltage · 3V or 5V logic
  • SDA

    I2C data line; Adafruit Learn states this pin connects to the microcontroller I2C data line and can be used with 3V or 5V logic with a 10K pullup.

    Type · i2cVoltage · 3V or 5V logic
  • ACK

    Interrupt/alert output for high or low UV signal warning; Adafruit Learn states the logic level follows Vin.

Air quality

Choose between MQ gas sensors, VOC/eCO2 indoor-air sensors, true CO2 modules and particulate sensors without treating every air-quality breakout as the same detector.
