AirQ VOC measurements
-
VOC measurements are not performed when AirQ is in battery mode !
-
This is due to the fact that the Sen55 is stopped between measurements. The external power supply corrects this, but consumption is of the order of 160 mAh...
One wonders why an internal 600 mAh battery is essential to the operation of the device, and why it's impossible to supply power via the Grove HY-2.0 connector. -
@rictim thanks for pointing this out. I already guessed that fan isn't functioning in battery mode and thought of using the connector. But it looks like I need to hook them up to a USB battery pack for VOC. Assuming the sensors work also better when the fan works.
