Description
- First CO2 sensor in OSHW market
- Onboard highly sensitive MG-811 sensor module and potentiometer
- Conditioning circuit for amplifying output signal
- Interface: Analog
The CO2 Sensor Arduino Compatible is the first CO2 sensor in OSHW market. The output voltage of the module falls as the concentration of the CO2 increases. The potentiometer onboard is designed to set the threshold of voltage. As long as the CO2 concentration is high enough (voltage is lower than threshold), a digital signal (ON/OFF) will be released. It has MG-811 sensor module onboard which is highly sensitive to CO2 and less sensitive to alcohol and CO, Low humidity & temperature dependency. All components have industrial quality which means stability and reproducibility.
Onboard heating circuit brings the best temperature for sensor to function. 5V power input will be boosted to 6V for heating. This sensor has an onboard conditioning circuit for amplifying output signal.
Features
- One digital output
- High quality connector
- Immersion gold surface
- Onboard heating circuit
- 5V operating voltage
- Size:32 x 42mm

capteur très sensible et précis on l'alimente en +5v mais lecture avec CAN(ads1015) pour Raspberry en 3.3v. prix un peu élevé
Having attached the CO2 sensor to an Arduino Uno with the output writing to an LCD display, I have been monitoring the voltage output by the sensor over the last 10 days. It started out at about 3.25V (after amplification on the board) and has now drifted up to 3.75V indicating a significant decrease in CO2 levels below the assumed starting point of 400ppm. Even with accurate calibration, such a significant drift makes the sensor all but useless to do anything but monitor short term changes in CO2 levels. However, it is possible that the sensor requires significant burn in, and that the output will stabilise in the end. It is still pretty sensitive to short term changes to CO2 levels and reacts quite strongly to a single breath and to CO2 from a soda stream machine
very sensitive and precise sensor it is fed in + 5v but read with CAN (ads1015) for Raspberry in 3.3v. price a bit high
The unit is calibrated via defining thresholds in your code, but it's a trial-and-error process, and you really need a second (already calibrated) CO2 sensor to establish your baselines. For the price, this should be pre-calibrated to 400ppm at the factory. As Graham said, it's good for detecting short-term spikes/drops in CO2 (even after a 48-hour burn-in period). But that's about it.

Refund Policy
If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.
Please review the Return Conditions, Return Exceptions and the process on How to Request a Return Authorization (RA) before initiating a return request.
European consumers exercising their statutory Right of Withdrawal are subject to different conditions. See the Statutory Right of Withdrawal.
Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
- A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A €100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables * — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly * — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps * — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items * — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
- Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
- On-Demand Items * — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
- Professional & Specialized Equipment — See the Professional & Specialized Equipment Warranty page and Professional & Institutional Buyers (B2B) section in the Terms & Conditions.
* European consumers retain their statutory Right of Withdrawal on these items. Its exercise is subject to the conditions and exclusions set out in the Statutory Right of Withdrawal, and any reimbursement may be reduced to reflect a loss in value resulting from handling beyond inspection.
How to Request a Return Authorization (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
- RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
- Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
