AirElixir --- Sensor data collector on Raspberry Pi

The AirElixir is a sensor data collector on Raspberry Pi, capable of recording and uploading information about temperature, humidity, particulate matters, total volatile organic compound, and equivalent calculated carbon-dioxide to the internet.

Electronic components (sensor)

component manufacture matters
DHT11 Aosong temperature, humidity
SDS021 Nova PM2.5, PM10
CCS811 ams TVOC, eCO2

Sensor installation

DHT11

  1. Sensor to Raspberry Pi connection 
    GND  <-> GND
DATA <-> Pin 16
VCC  <-> 3.3V

SDS021: edit the system file for using the serial port

  1. Edit file /boot.cmdline.txt, delete a characters console=ttyAMA0,115200 
    BEFORE: dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait
AFTER:  dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait
  2. Edit file /etc/inittab, coment the last line of the file 
    # T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100
  3. Sensor to Raspberry Pi connection 
    Red wire    <-> Pin 4
Black wire  <-> Pin 6
Yellow wire <-> Pin 8
Blue wire   <-> Pin 10

CCS811: edit the system files for using I2C

  1. Enable I2C 
    sudo raspi-config
  2. Edit file /boot/config.txt, add to tail 
    dtparam=i2c_baudrate=10000
  3. Sensor to Raspberry Pi connection 
    VCC     <-> 3.3V
GND     <-> GND
I2C SDA <-> pin 2
I2C SCL <-> pin 3
WAK     <-> GND
  4. Check that the sensor is wired up correctly 
    sudo i2cdetect -y 1
