The US082-ZMOD4510EVZ board enables quick
prototyping of the ZMOD4510 gas sensor module for
outdoor air quality (OAQ) in a custom system design.
The board provides a standard Pmod™ Type 6A
(Extended I2C) connection for the on-board sensor to
plug into any required MCU evaluation kit with a
matching connector.
The US082-ZMOD4510EVZ features Pmod
connectors on both sides of the board to allow
additional Type 6/6A boards to be connected in a
daisy-chained solution with multiple sensors on the
same MCU Pmod connector. Software support
present in the Renesas IDE (e2studio) provides code
generation to connect the sensor and the MCU
significantly reducing development time. Because of
the standard connector and software support, the
US082-ZMOD4510EVZ is the best choice to rapidly
create an IoT system with the Renesas
Quick-Connect IoT.

1. Functional Description
The US082-ZMOD4510EVZ functions as a sensor building block to create a custom system solution. It can be
used individually or with a combination of other sensors using the Pmod Type 6A interface. See the Renesas
Quick-Connect IoT web page for a list of available sensor Pmod boards. Along with a simple hardware
connection, the software sensor block in the Renesas software package allows you to generate all the necessary
glue code between the sensor and the MCU with the simple click of a button.

2. Setup
2.1 Required or Recommended User Equipment
The following additional lab equipment (sold separately) is required for using the board:
▪Any MCU board that supports Type 6A Pmod.
▪US082-INTERPEVZ interposer board if using one of the Renesas MCU kits shown in Table 1.
2.2 Software Installation and Usage
See the Renesas website for the latest version of the e2 studio installer. The minimum FSP version supporting
sensor blocks is FSP 3.1.0. For the latest sensor support, ensure you are using the latest release.
Visit Renesas Quick-Connect IoT for more information about creating your customized system solution.
2.3 Kit Hardware Connections
Follow these procedures to set up the kit as shown on Figure 3.
1. Ensure the MCU evaluation kit has a Pmod connector set to Type 6A (see the kit hardware manual if unsure).
a. If no Type 6A Pmod is available, ensure the MCU evaluation kit can use the US082-INTERPEVZ interposer
board and insert the board into the MCU connector before adding any sensor boards.
2. Plug in the US082-ZMOD4510EVZ to the Type 6A connector, being careful to align Pin 1 on the sensor board
and MCU kit.
3. Connect the J4 and J5 jumpers to place 4.7k pull-up resistors on the I2C bus lines.
a. Only one set of I2C pull-up resistors should be used on the bus. If multiple sensor boards are used, only
one board should have the jumpers present.
b. MCU kits typically do not have pull-up resistors present on the bus lines but double check for them.
4. The INT pin of the ZMOD4510 is a push-pull output signaling if a measurement is being taken. Connect it to
the Busy (GPIO) pin of the Pmod connector by placing Jumper J6 on Pins 1-2. Connect it to the INT pin of the
Pmod connector by placing Jumper J6 on Pins 2-3. Connect Jumper J3 to add an optional 4.7k pull-up resistor
to this line.

US082-INTERPEVZ

5. The sensor is now ready to be used in the system. Follow the MCU kit instructions for connecting and powering
up the evaluation kit.
3. Programming Interface
Programming of the system can be accomplished through Renesas IDE, e2studio. See the MCU evaluation kit
documentation to set up the initial project in e2studio. As the project is initialized, adding the ZMOD4510 sensor
to the project only takes a few steps.
1. Navigate to the Components tab, open the Middleware/all folder, and select the required sensor and mode of
operation. For the case shown in Figure 4, select the rm_ZMOD4xxx_rx and rm_zmod4510_oaq_2nd.
2. Click the Generate Project Content icon and the system generates the code to configure the sensor with the
MCU.
3. Write three to four lines of code to check the version, initialize the sensor, start the measurement cycle, and get
the data. The following is example code for an RA MCU.
err = p_zmod4xxx_api->open(p_zmod4xxx_ctrl, p_zmod4xxx_cfg); // Configure the sensor
err = p_zmod4xxx_api->measurementStart(p_zmod4xxx_ctrl); // Start measuring
err = p_zmod4xxx_api->read(p_zmod4xxx_ctrl, &gs_zmod4510_raw_data, NULL);//Get data
4. Use the data in your given application. Sample projects are available on the Renesas website as well.
