PM2.5 Air Quality Sensor and Breadboard Adapter Kit - PMS5003

Breathe easy with this amazing PM2.5 Air Quality Sensor paired with a Breadboard Adapter. It's like having a personal air quality detective right at your fingertips! Even Mad Max and Furiosa could have used one in their post - apocalyptic Australian adventures. For the rest of us, it's a great tool to monitor air quality easily. Witness real - time, reliable measurement of PM2.5 dust concentrations. This sensor uses laser scattering to detect air particles. The microprocessor then figures out the particle size and number. You'll need to connect it to a microcontroller with UART input or a USB - Serial converter. We've got code for Arduino and CircuitPython. Every second, it gives you PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10.0 concentrations in standard and environmental units, along with particulate matter data in different size bins. It also provides a checksum in binary. We'll provide the sensor box, cable, and a 0.1' / 2.54mm breakout board. All you need is 5V power and one data pin for UART TX. The logic level is 3.3V. Check out our guide for wiring diagrams and code!

Using this PM2.5 air quality sensor and breadboard adapter kit is a breeze. First, connect the sensor to a microcontroller with UART input. If you want, you can also use a USB - Serial converter and parse the data on your computer. We've provided code for Arduino and CircuitPython to make it easier for you. Once it's connected and powered up with 5V (the logic level is 3.3V), you'll start getting data every second. Just one data pin for UART TX is needed. When handling the kit, be careful not to damage the sensor or the cable. Keep it in a dry place to avoid any moisture - related issues. As for maintenance, there's not much you need to do. Just make sure the connections are secure. If you have any trouble, refer to our guide for wiring diagrams and code.
