In this project, we are building an Arduino based platform to measure air quality and map it using GPS coordinates.

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:

  • GPS sensor - Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout v3 and the OpenLog
  • Dust sensor - Sharp Optical Dust Sensor
  • Humidity and temperature sensor - SHT10 by sensiron/DFRobot
  • Carbon monoxide sensor - Parallax CO sensor
  • Barometric pressure - BMP085 Barometric Pressure/Temperature/Altitude Sensor

We are working on combining them all into a nice light package.

Still to do:

  • Create circuit board sketch and etch it
  • Solder everything on board
  • Build enclosure

Next version improvements:

  1. Use smaller arduino board (Nano?) potentially one with GPS builtin.
  2. Decide if we want a 5V board.
  3. Use 7.4V LI-ion flat and rechargeable battery pack.
  4. Use only one voltage regulator if we stay with 3.3V.
  5. Move voltage splitter to monitor voltage to between battery and voltage regulator.
