Unit ENV-Pro Arduino Tutorial

1. Preparation

2. Notes

Pin Compatibility
Pin configurations vary between host devices. M5Stack provides an official pin compatibility table for reference. Modify the example program according to the actual pin connections.

3. Example Program

  • This tutorial uses Basic V2.7 with Unit ENV-Pro. Unit ENV-Pro communicates via I2C at the default address 0x77. Once connected, the corresponding pins are G21 (SDA) and G22 (SCL).

4. Compile and Upload

  • Copy and paste the example code above into the project code area and select the device port. For details, see Program Compilation and Flashing. Click the compile and upload button in the upper-left corner of Arduino IDE, then wait for the program to compile and upload to the device.

5. Environmental Data Monitoring

  • After the program starts, the screen displays IAQ, IAQ accuracy, temperature, pressure, humidity, gas resistance, sensor stabilization, and run-in status. Once the sensor is initialized, the page continuously updates with data output by BSEC2.
