Soldered BMV080 Particulate Matter Sensor

The BMV080 Particulate Matter Sensor breakout measures the mass concentration of fine dust in the air: PM1, PM2.5 and PM10, about once a second. The Bosch BMV080 has no fan and no moving parts, so it runs silently and draws little power.

Accuracy is ±10 µg/m³ from 0 to 100 µg/m³ and ±10 % of the reading from 101 to 1000 µg/m³. You choose between continuous measurement and a duty-cycling mode that saves power on battery-powered devices.

The board talks over I2C by default, at address 0x54, and jumpers select three more addresses. Another jumper switches it to SPI. Two Qwiic connectors let you plug it into your board and chain more sensors with one cable each, and the 2.54 mm header fits a breadboard. An Arduino library and documentation help you get started.

• Sensor: Bosch BMV080
• Measures: PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentration
• Measurement range: 0 to 1000 µg/m³
• Accuracy: ±10 µg/m³ (0 to 100 µg/m³), ±10 % of reading (101 to 1000 µg/m³)
• Output rate: about 1 reading per second
• Modes: continuous measurement, duty cycling
• Interface: I2C (default) or SPI, selected by jumper
• I2C address: 0x54 (default), 0x55, 0x56 or 0x57
• Connectors: 2x Qwiic, 7-pin 2.54 mm header
• Supply voltage: 3.3 V
• Dimensions: 38 x 22 mm / 1.5 x 0.9 inch
• Mounting: 4x M3 holes

Note:

• The board runs on 3.3 V only. It has no voltage regulator, so do not connect the header to 5 V.
