Pico Air Monitoring Expansion

The Raspberry Pi Pico Air Monitoring Expansion is an amazing open - source portable sensor. It can precisely provide the quantity level of suspended particulates along with their mass. Operating at a 5V voltage, it's equipped with a high - tech Digital Laser Dust Sensor, PMSA003, and an on - board 0.91' OLED Display. This display shows the information of suspended particulate matter like PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 in the air per unit volume through digital output. It communicates via UART (serial). Also, there are external GPIO Breakout Pins for connecting external peripherals and sensors. The package includes 1 x Pico Air Monitoring Expansion only, and note that no Pico board is included.

Using the Raspberry Pi Pico Air Monitoring Expansion is easy. First, make sure you have a 5V power source to supply the right voltage. Connect it to your Raspberry Pi Pico. Once connected, the on - board OLED Display will start showing the data of suspended particulate matter in the air. To add more functionality, you can use the external GPIO Breakout Pins to connect external sensors and peripherals. Just plug them in carefully. When it comes to maintenance, keep the sensor clean. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or wet environments. If you notice any issues with the data display or connection, check the power supply and the connections first. And remember, this package doesn't come with a Pico board, so you need to have your own.
