GE T6603-5 CO2 sensor Arduino sketch

[buffalobillpatrick]

/*
GE T6603-5 Safe-AirTM Plus CO2 Sensor

This sensor: +5vdc on pin 3, Gnd on pin 4, 
produces an open collector +Pulse output on pin 5  (with 10K pullup resistor to +5)
The duration of this pulse indicates the CO2 in Parts per Million (with manipulation)

This sketch averages 100 samples & prints out PPM  Takes about 1.7 minutes / printout
