Product overview
Description
The module measures the percentage of oxygen contained in the smoke or air, calculate the lambda and AFR (air-fuel ratio of combustion).
It can be integrated into any project quickly and easily, without wasting arduino board resources. All this thanks to the microcontroller integrated on the board that controls the temperature of the probe, performs all the calculations, monitors the diagnostics, and sends the data via SPI to the arduino when requested.
The library for arduino “Lambda.h” will take care of the control of the board, so that you can easily get the measurement. It will simply take care of the communication and some change of units, with it you can easily incorporate the module to your project easily and quickly and without previous knowledge.
It has a 5V output that will allow your arduino or small project to be powered, with a current of less than 300mA.
The microcontroller integrated in the module is in charge of:
- Diagnostics.
- Calculation of %O2 and AFR.
- With variable digital filter.
- With pressure variation compensation. (If the arduino sends it the smoke pressure).
- With temperature variation compensation.
- Max data sampling rate 100 samples / second
- Probe temperature control, and heating.
- Communication via SPI BUS with the arduino board. In the arduino through the library you will be able to turn on and off the module, request a value, etc.
- It stores configuration and setting data in its non-volatile memory.
