AirGradient S8 CO₂ Sensor Module — Hardware

KiCad hardware design files for the AirGradient S8 CO₂ sensor module — a plug-in adapter board that carries a SenseAir S8 NDIR CO₂ sensor in AirGradient air quality monitors.

Overview

A passive 2-layer adapter for the SenseAir S8: two sockets matching the S8's 4-pin and 5-pin headers, with power (5 V) and UART passed straight through to an 8-pin host connector. No regulator or active parts — the S8 runs directly from the host's 5 V rail.

This is the S8-only variant of AirGradient's CO₂ sensor adapter family; the SUNX-only board (SenseAir Sunrise/Sunlight) and the combined S8 + SUNX board live in their own repositories.

Design structure

A single KiCad project in s8/: one schematic sheet and a 2-layer board.

Toolchain

  • KiCad 7 (file format 2023-01). All symbols, footprints, and 3D models come from the KiCad standard libraries — the project opens without any extra library setup.

Fabrication

s8/production/ holds the released Gerber set (s8-v1.0.zip; the Gerber filenames inside keep the design's original CO2-sensor-pcb naming).

Versioning & releases

Hardware revisions are tagged on this repository. Per-version release notes and the matching production file set are published on the GitHub Releases page.

Questions

How big is the Pcb module s8 PCB?

It measures 54 × 32 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pcb module s8 use?

6 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Pcb module s8 KiCad files?

From the Open-Air-Foundation/pcb-module-s8 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is s8/s8.kicad_pcb and its schematic s8/s8.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pcb module s8 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
