If you are looking to learn more about electronics and building projects using micro controllers and mini PCs. A great place to start is using the Arduino
The AirGradient DIY Air Quality Sensor
As part of the AirGradient for Education series, this instruction teaches how to build a powerful PM2.5 fine dust sensor with AirGradient.
The sensor will display PM2.5, CO2, Temperature and Humidity on the display and can optionally send the data to any server for data logging (e.g. the AirGradient platform or any other cloud backend).
You will need some basic soldering skills and experiences with microcontrollers are a plus. However, even if you are a beginner, don’t worry we made our instructions really easy! Also, if you get stuck please get in touch with us. We are more than happy to help!
