I am considering detecting carbon monoxide, but is it possible to detect the concentration of carbon monoxide with BME680?

Hi light,
BME680 is a metal-oxide based chemical sensor. The sensor output is created by interaction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with the sensitive layer of BME680. Unlike a physical sensor (e.g. pressure sensor like BMP), chemical sensors are thus influenced by a plethora of parameters and their response is very complex. On the one hand, this implies that quantification of VOCs is not possible in a random VOC mixture like the one the sensor faces in a real world environment.

thank you for your answer.
It is not necessary to specify carbon monoxide, but if we consider it as one element of VOC, is it correct to recognize that it can be confirmed by the response of the sensor?

Hi light,
You can use the algorithm trained by BME AI-Studio to identify the type of gas you want to detect.
