This ESP32 espressif IoT development framework (esp-idf) i2c peripheral driver was developed for the ScioSense CCS811 digital metal-oxide multi-gas sensor. Information on features and functionality are documented and can be found in the `ccs811.h` header file and in the `documentation` folder.
## Repository
The component is hosted on github and is located here: <https://github.com/K0I05/ESP32-S3_ESP-IDF_COMPONENTS/tree/main/components/peripherals/i2c/esp_ccs811>
## General Usage
To get started, simply copy the component to your project's `components` folder and reference the `ccs811.h` header file as an include. The component includes documentation for the peripheral such as the datasheet, application notes, and/or user manual where applicable.

## Basic Example
Once a driver instance is instantiated the sensor is ready for usage as shown in the below example. This basic implementation of the driver utilizes default configuration settings and makes a measurement request from the sensor at user defined interval and prints the results.
```c
#include <ccs811.h>
void i2c0_ccs811_task( void *pvParameters ) {
// initialize the xLastWakeTime variable with the current time.
TickType_t last_wake_time = xTaskGetTickCount ();
//
// initialize i2c device configuration
ccs811_config_t dev_cfg = I2C_CCS811_CONFIG_DEFAULT;
ccs811_handle_t dev_hdl;
//
// init device
ccs811_init(i2c0_bus_hdl, &dev_cfg, &dev_hdl);
if (dev_hdl == NULL) {
ESP_LOGE(APP_TAG, "ccs811 handle init failed");
assert(dev_hdl);
}
//
// task loop entry point
for ( ;; ) {
ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "######################## CCS811 - START #########################");
//
// handle sensor
uint16_t eco2; uint16_t etvoc;
esp_err_t result = ccs811_get_measurement(dev_hdl, &eco2, &etvoc);
if(result != ESP_OK) {
ESP_LOGE(APP_TAG, "i2c0 i2c_ccs811_get_measurement failed: %s", esp_err_to_name(result));
} else {
ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "eCO2 value: %d ppm", eco2);
ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "eTVOC value: %d ppb", etvoc);
}
//
ESP_LOGI(APP_TAG, "######################## CCS811 - END ###########################");
//
//
// pause the task per defined wait period
vTaskDelaySecUntil( &last_wake_time, I2C0_TASK_SAMPLING_RATE );
}
//
// free resources
ccs811_delete( dev_hdl );
vTaskDelete( NULL );
}
