About the Modular aq sensor PCB
Modular aq sensor is an open source PCB design by open-seneca, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 116.7 × 53.3 mm, with 25 components from 18 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the HM-11, SHT31-DIS-B and TLV70218_SOT23-5. By type, the board carries 14 connectors, 4 resistors, 3 ICs, 3 capacitors and 1 switch.
It belongs with the sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
The repo contains the firmware, 3d-printed casing, PCB-files, and documentation for our modular open-seneca sensor based on a "Black Pill" MCU. It can be flashed using Arduino IDE.
Please also refer to our current, smaller, and all-integrated air quality sensor kit which is also open-source on Github: https://github.com/open-seneca/integrated-aq-sensor
If you already have a sensor and want to upload and visualise your data you can create an account here: http://app.open-seneca.org
If you have built your kit and want to flash the code to the Black Pill board, here is how:
