Hi Brian, I never used an sgp30, but I ran a search and found this thread that may be of interest, would you like to check it out? > [@SGP30 doesn't work on Gen3 devices](https://community.particle.io/t/sgp30-doesnt-work-on-gen3-devices/48211): > > Has anyone had success with the [Adafruit SGP30 sensor](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3709) on the Gen 3 devices? My sensors work fine on Photons but not on Argons or Xenons. It doesn’t throw an error but it appears the internal heater never kicks in (according to thermal imaging) and all I get back is 0-1 and 400-401. I’ve tried both particle SGP30 libraries though technically they both originate from Adafruit’s code. To help narrow things down I’ve confirmed all the libraries and code I’ve been trying work on Photons. I’ve th… If it does not help, here's the search: [https://community.particle.io/search?q=sgp30](https://community.particle.io/search?q=sgp30) If still in trouble, do not hesitate to keep asking, Gustavo. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.particle.io/t/i2c-sensors-not-sending-data-but-showing-up-in-i2c-scanner-and-working-on-arduino/59882)._
