arduino-airquality | ||
================== | ||
|
||
In this project, we are building an Arduino Fio based platform to measure air quality (carbon monoxide and dust levels) and also tracking location using a GPS sensor. | ||
In this project, we are building a mobile Arduino Fio based platform to measure air quality. | ||
|
||
We currently have multiple components working correctly with the Arduino Fio: | ||
|
||
- [x] GPS sensor - Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout v3 and the OpenLog | ||
- [x] Dust sensor - Sharp Optical Dust Sensor | ||
- [x] Humidity and temperature sensor - SHT10 by sensiron/DFRobot | ||
- [ ] Carbon monoxide sensor - Parallax CO sensor (in progress) | ||
- [x] Carbon monoxide sensor - Parallax CO sensor | ||
- [x] Barometric pressure - BMP085 Barometric Pressure/Temperature/Altitude Sensor | ||
|
||
We are working on combining them all into a nice light package. | ||
|
||
To do: | ||
- Determine if Fio has a voltage limit, our dust sensor could output a reading of up to ~3.75V | ||
It seems the only limit is on current, eg 20 mA per Pin, and 150 mA total for the board. | ||
- Cook the CO sensor for 24-48 hours | ||
- Add the CO sensor to bread board | ||
- Add additional power supply for C0 | ||
- Figure out how to manage the higher voltage requirements of the C0 sensor | ||
- Add CO code to main code base | ||
- Add GPS conversion code to main code base | ||
Still to do: | ||
- [ ] Create circuit board sketch and etch it | ||
- [ ] Solder everything on board | ||
- [ ] Build enclosure | ||
|
||
Long term steps | ||
- Solder everything on prototype board | ||
- Build enclosure | ||
- Evaluate the need of adding additional sensors, such as MQ-131 for Ozone |
