Hardware Assembly

With the SparkFun Qwiic system, assembling the your sensor circuit is easy! All you need to do is connect your SparkFun Air Quality Sensor - SGP40 (Qwiic) to your chosen development board with a Qwiic cable or adapter cable. If you would prefer to not use the Qwiic connectors, you can connect to the 0.1" header pins broken out on bottom of the board.
