Gas Sensor BME688

The BME688 is the first gas sensor with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and integrated high-linearity and high-accuracy pressure, humidity and temperature sensors. The gas sensor can detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and other gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the part per billion (ppb) range. Additionally to all functions of the BME680, the BME688 comes with

  • Specific detection of VSCs
  • Application-specific gas scanner
  • BME AI-Studio
