## how to use
Use as python script.
```
pi@raspberrypi:~/mh-z19/pypi $ sudo python -m mh_z19
{'co2': 500}
```

Import module and call read()
```
pi@raspberrypi:~/mh-z19/pypi $ sudo python
Python 2.7.13 (default, Nov 24 2017, 17:33:09) 
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mh_z19
>>> mh_z19.read()
{'co2': 477}
>>> 
```

The ***sudo*** might be necessary because mh_z19 module use Serial.

The differences of the interface between each Raspberry Pi model are resolved inside this module. For example, serial device name is difference between Raspberry Pi 3 and older model, but mh-z19 module automatically detect the model and read from appropriate serial device.

To use mh-z19, once you need to set up enabling serial port device on the Raspberry Pi.
Following [Wiki](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/wiki/How-to-Enable-Serial-Port-hardware-on-the-Raspberry-Pi) page might be informative.

## cabling
Connect RPi & mh-z19 as:

- 5V on RPi and Vin on mh-z19
- GND(0v) on RPi and GND on mh-z19
- TxD and RxD are connected to cross between RPi and mh-z18 

Followings are example of cabling, but you can free to use other 5v and 0v Pin on the RPi.

<img src="https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/raw/master/pic/2018-11-20.11.23.19.png" width="24%">

[MONITOR™](https://monitor3.uedasoft.com) is a free Remote Monitoring Service to show latest data on the web. You can see the current CO2 concentration value measured by your MH-Z19 device on your smartphone. For detail, please refer this [blog](https://monitorserviceatelierueda.blogspot.com/2018/11/how-to-measure-room-co2-concentration.html). 


## Calibration, Detection range settings, and ABC(Automatic Baseline Correction) logic on/off.
Features about calibration (both MH-Z19 & MH-Z19B), detection range change (MH-Z19B) and ABC logic on/off(MH-Z19B) are implemented at version 0.2.1 or later.

I'm afraid I've just only implemented these without test due to lack necessary devices and apparatus for the test, fx: standard concentration CO2 gas, also MH-Z19B module.
If you have these devices or apparatus and try to use these functions generously, I'm really appreciate your [issue report](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/issues) regardless result were positive or negative.

For detail please refer this [wiki](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/wiki/CALIBRATION-&-detection-range).

## Undocumented response values of 0x86 command.
The [Revspace/MHZ19](https://revspace.nl/MHZ19#Command_0x86_.28read_concentration.29) shows values undocumented on the official datasheets([MH-Z19](https://www.winsen-sensor.com/d/files/PDF/Infrared%20Gas%20Sensor/NDIR%20CO2%20SENSOR/MH-Z19%20CO2%20Ver1.0.pdf), [MH-Z19B](https://www.winsen-sensor.com/d/files/MH-Z19B.pdf)). In accordance with this, **--all** option add these values in the return json value as follows:

```bash:
sudo python -m mh_z19 --all
{"SS": 232, "UhUl": 10752, "TT": 61, "co2": 818, "temperature": 21}

sudo python3 -m mh_z19 --all
{"TT": 61, "co2": 807, "SS": 232, "temperature": 21, "UhUl": 10752}
```

or call **read_all()** function as follows:

```
>>> import mh_z19
>>> mh_z19.read_all()
{'SS': 232, 'UhUl': 10738, 'TT': 61, 'co2': 734, 'temperature': 21}
>>> 
```

## Use specific serial device.
In case you should use specific serial device insted of Raspberry Pi default serial device which this library automatically select, for example in case to need to use /dev/ttyUSB0 for **FT232 usb-serial converter** as [issue#12](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/issues/12), you can specify serial device by **--serial_device** option as follows:

```
sudo python -m mh_z19 --serial_device /dev/ttyUSB0
```

## How to use without root permission.
See this [wiki](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/wiki/How-to-use-without-root-permission.).

## How to use in your program.
See this [wiki](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/wiki/How-to-use-in-your-program.).

## PWM support.
See this [wiki](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/wiki/PWM-support.).

## In case you can't get the value.
Even if cabling seems no problem and uart seems to be prepateted well but you can't get sensor value. As [nincube8](https://github.com/nincube8) suggested that the [pull up](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/issues/22#issuecomment-683393350) by [1-5kΩ register](https://github.com/UedaTakeyuki/mh-z19/issues/26#issuecomment-744039360) can be working solution. Thank you [nincube8](https://github.com/nincube8)!
