MH-Z19B: CO2 Sensor Sample
Description
This sample application demonstrate the configurations of the MH-Z19B CO2 sensor, then periodically reads CO2 data from the sensor. The driver currently only support uart interrupt APIs.
Requirements
The baudrate of the UART must be configured to 9600, and must support interrupt driven API.
Building and Running
To build the application, a board with UART interface has to be chosen, or a custom devicetree overlay has to be provided. Here Nucleo G0B1RE board is used. Then, connect the RX and TX from your Zephyr target board to the MH-Z19B CO2 sensor and power the sensor according to the datasheet.

Sample Output
The application will perform runtime configuration of the sensor, then read back the sensor configuration data. After that it will read the CO2 data every 2 seconds.
