Good but needs warm up
Works well after letting it run for a few minutes. Documentation could be clearer on the initial stabilization period.

Great for air quality projects
Integrated easily with my ESP32. Readings seem consistent compared to my reference meter. UART protocol is straightforward to parse.

Accurate detection
Noticed changes when using cleaning products. Very sensitive to formaldehyde sources in the environment.

Reliable sensor
Using this for home monitoring setup. UART output makes parsing data very simple without needing an ADC.

Perfect for prototyping
Compact size and stable voltage requirements. Highly recommend for DIY sensors and smart home integration.
Q: What is the default baud rate?
A: The default UART baud rate is 9600bps.
Q: Is calibration required upon arrival?
A: Modules are pre-calibrated at the factory, but periodic calibration is recommended for long-term accuracy.
Q: Can this detect benzene?
A: No, this sensor is specific to formaldehyde though cross-sensitivity may occur with other volatile compounds.
Q: Does it work with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it works via USB to TTL serial adapter connected to GPIO pins or USB port.
Q: How long is the cable?
A: This module does not include a cable, pins are provided for soldering or connecting headers.
