A program to set instructions and get information from an SPS30. It has been tested to run either UART or I2C communication on ESP32, MEGA2560, ESP8266, UNO, Due, nRF52840 and Apollo3. In the meantime many other boards have been added to the test as well as extended interface options. (see below)
A detailed description of the options and findings are in SPS30.odt

As part of a larger project I am looking at analyzing and understanding the air quality. I have done a number of projects on air-sensors. This is a version of a working driver + examples. More work continues to happen to create examples and compare against other sensors.

A word of warning: the SPS30 needs a female plug of ZHR-5 from JST Sales America Inc. I have not been able to find a good source for that and was glad to buy the Sparkfun version (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15103) which does include a cable with this plug.

May 2019 : there is also a library available for Raspberry Pi (https://github.com/paulvha/sps30_on_raspberry)
January 2023 : there is also SPS30 BLE-peripheral, BLE-central and Android BLE-APP (https://github.com/paulvha/apollo3/tree/master/ArduinoBLE_special)

Examples 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 15 and 16 have a dependency on other libraries. Documented in sketch.

Please see the description in the top of the sketch and read the documentation (odt)

From the start I had decided to take an embedded communication channel setup. This made it much easier for the user to select and have the right setup for Serial or I2C. It was initially tested on an UNO, MEGA, ESP32, ESP8266, Due (1.4.4) and works well. Overtime code has been adjusted to support more boards with different pin-outs based on user request and feedback. Given the large number of new boards that continue to hit the market, with different pin-outs, as well as boards with multiple I2C channels, I have decided to add the option for the user provide the communication channel also differently. This means the user will perform in the sketch the initialization of the channel (serial or I2C) and provide that to the SP30 library. Example12 (for serial communication) and Example13 (for I2C communication) has been added to demonstrate the usage. The embedded approach, and thus backward compatibility, continue to be available.

• added example15 and Example16 to display the SPS30 output on an LCD

• added check on return code in GetStatusReg()
• added support for Artemis / Apollo3

• added flushing in case of chk_zero() (handling a problem in Artemis library 2.0.1)

• corrected another return code in instruct() (Thanks for pointing out Robert R. Fenichel)

• corrected return code in instruct() (Thanks for pointing out Robert R. Fenichel)

• added example20 for connecting multiple SPS30 (5!) to single board
• updated sps30.odt around multiple SPS30 connected to Mega2560, DUE and ESP32

• added embedded support for Arduino Due
• as I now have a SPS30 firmware level 2.2 to test, corrected GetStatusReg() and SetOpMode()
• changed Example11 to demonstrate reading status register only
• added Example14 to demonstrate sleep and wakeup function.

• update to I2C_WAKEUP code

• added NANO 33 IOT board = SAMD21G18A (addition from Firepoo)
• added option to select in sketch any serial or wire channel to use (many user requests)
• added example12 and example13 sketches to demonstrate any channel selection option

• Fixed issue in setOpmode() when NO UART is available, only I2C.
• Added setOpmode() to exclude in small footprint

• Based on the new SPS30 datasheet (March 2020) a number of functions are added or updated. Some are depending on the new firmware.
• Added sleep() and wakeup(). Requires firmware 2.0
• Added GetVersion() to obtain the current firmware / hardware / library info
• Added structure SPS30_version for GetVersion()
• Added GetStatusReg() to obtain SPS30 status information. Requires firmware 2.2
• Added internal function to check on correct firmware level
• Added INCLUDE_FWCHECK in SPS30.h to enable /disable check.
• Changed probe() to obtain firmware levels instead of serial number.
• Changed on how to obtaining product-type

• Update the example sketches to include version levels
• Added example11 for sleep(), wakeup() and GetStatusreg()
• Update to documentation

This is not an issue - just a note to help others that may have damaged or lost the flimsy cable with the ZHR-5 connector. It is available inexpensively on eBay: Make sure you pick the correct type, which is 1.25mm 5 Pin. (10 Sets JST SH 1.0 ZH 1.5 PH 2.0 XH 2.5 Housing Connector Female Male Wire)

Reducing the I2C speed to 50K instead of 100K improves longer time stability.

I also found another compatible connector. I also recommend buying spare crimp contacts as they are very small and fragile. Needs a crimp tool. I use a Connector Pliers model PA-09 by Engineer I had from other works. It may be useful if special lengths are needed of there is no stock on JST ones
