How a Photoacoustic CO2 Sensor Works

By DFRobot

This article introduces photoacoustic CO2 sensors: it covers indoor CO2's health impacts, photoacoustic tech principles (light absorption → temp/pressure change → sound), advantages over NDIR (small, low-cost, high-accuracy), DFRobot's sensor (400-5000ppm, I2C) and a portable indicator.
