A combined air quality and environmental sensor breakout featuring the ENS160 (air quality index, eCO2, TVOCs) and BME280 (temperature, humidity, barometric pressure) on a single Qwiic-enabled board. The two sensors work together — the BME280 provides real-time humidity and temperature data that the ENS160 uses to fine-tune its air quality readings for greater accuracy.

All communication is via I²C with Qwiic connectors for solderless setup. Standard 0.1″ headers are also broken out for breadboard use. Jumper-selectable I²C addresses allow flexibility in multi-sensor configurations.

Key Features

  • ENS160 Air Quality Sensor – AQI (1–5), eCO2 (400–65,000 ppm), TVOC (0–65,000 ppb)
  • BME280 Environmental Sensor – Temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure
  • Sensor Fusion – BME280 data improves ENS160 accuracy
  • Qwiic / I²C Interface – 2× Qwiic connectors, no soldering required
  • Jumper-Selectable Addresses – ENS160: 0x53/0x52, BME280: 0x77/0x76
  • CCS811 Replacement – ENS160 is the next-generation air quality sensor

ENS160 Specifications

  • AQI Range: 1–5 (UBA standard)
  • eCO2 Range: 400–65,000 ppm (1 ppm resolution)
  • TVOC Range: 0–65,000 ppb (1 ppb resolution)
  • Operating Temperature: −40 °C to 85 °C
  • Operating Humidity: 5–95% RH (non-condensing)
  • I²C Address: 0x53 (default) or 0x52

BME280 Specifications

  • Temperature: −40 °C to 85 °C, ±0.5 °C accuracy (0–65 °C), 0.01 °C resolution
  • Humidity: 0–100% RH, ±3% accuracy (20–80% RH), 0.008% resolution
  • Pressure: 300–1100 hPa, ±1 hPa absolute accuracy, 0.18 Pa resolution
  • Altitude: 0–30,000 ft, ~1 m relative accuracy at sea level
  • I²C Address: 0x77 (default) or 0x76

Board Specifications

  • Onboard Regulator: 1.8 V AP2127K (for ENS160)
  • I²C Pull-ups: 2.2 kΩ (jumper configurable)
  • Dimensions: 25.4 × 25.4 mm (1″ × 1″)
  • Weight: 2.5 g

Ideal For

  • Indoor air quality monitoring
  • Smart home and building automation
  • Weather stations and environmental logging
  • HVAC monitoring and control
  • Personal health and wellness tracking

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

breakout
A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
Headers
Rows of connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering the pins yourself.
ppm
ppm means parts per million, a common way to express very small gas concentrations in air. For CO₂ sensors, the ppm range tells you what levels the sensor can measure, such as normal indoor air through to poorly ventilated spaces.
Qwiic
Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
UPS
An uninterruptible power supply is a battery-backed power system that keeps a device running when external power is unplugged or fails. For an embedded computer, it helps prevent sudden shutdowns that can corrupt files or interrupt a project.
