The output data of SGP30 is always 400/0 when using micropython and Raspberry Pi Pico

[zuozuo-98]

I would like to ask, what is the reason why my SGP sensor reading keeps showing 400/0 (initial state)? Here is main.py

import adafruit_sgp30
from machine import I2C, Pin
import time
from utime import sleep

i2c = I2C(0,sda=Pin(0), scl=Pin(1), freq=100000)
sgp = adafruit_sgp30.Adafruit_SGP30(i2c)

while True:
        co2eq, tvoc = sgp.iaq_measure()
        print(co2eq,tvoc)    
        sleep(1)

and this is the library code

Do you have pull-up resistors on the I2C bus? Do you get anything from i2c.scan()?

Ya, I got [88] from i2c.scan(). I bought a second sensor, It works.
