Which does take 3 volts and has a I2C interface. What I don't know is that the MetaMotionR+ is expecting to read a register, however it doesn't appear that the SGP30 has registers, but it does expect a "Command" to be sent to it in 16 bits.
For your convenience we've pick-and-placed the sensor on a PCB with a 1.8V regulator and some level shifting so it can be easily used with your favorite 3.3V or 5V microcontroller.
From a voltage perspective I think it should work.
This is a very fine air quality sensor from the sensor experts at Sensirion, with I2C interfacing and fully calibrated output signals with a typical accuracy of 15% within measured values.
Looks like standard I2C communication which we support with our APIs; Just read our developer documentation on the I2C side (in the language of your choice) and you should be good to go.
The mbientlab C# libraries for MetaMotionR+ refer to reading registers from the I2C buss. I don't know how that translates to the SGP30 which seems to be looking for a "request" and then will provide an "answer". Yes this is new to me, so I'm obviously missing something. Can someone point me in the right direction w/ the SGP30?
I've been researching this project and before I end up heading down the wrong path, the question I have relates to I2C and the "registerAddr" in functions from the mbientlab C# libraries.
Looking at the WriteI2C() and ReadI2CAsync() functions, there is the "registerAddr" variable that indicates what register of the device to write or read from.
Looking on Page 9 of this document, it has Hex. Codes which I'm assuming are the "registers" to read/write to? If so, they are 16 bits long and the WriteI2C and ReadI2C functions are 8 bits long.
Page 7 states: "A measurement communication sequence consists of a START condition, the I2C write header (7-bit I2C device address plus 0 as the write bit) and a 16-bit measurement command."
Did you send it a start packet? You send the SGP30 a packet from the metawear to the sensor on the i2c bus. Then it starts the data stream.
Then the metawear will receive a bunch of I2C packets with the data from the sgp30.

It's a 1.8V part so it is not compatible.
I should have been clearer.... I'm using this:

I don't see any issues at first glance with this product: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3709
It should interface just fine with the metawear.

So what am I missing? Thanks!
