What is it?

Keep track of your surroundings using this advanced sensor kit, perfect for creating smart home setups or DIY weather stations. Instantly view the carbon dioxide levels in your room along with various Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), such as ethanol, toluene, hydrogen, and other oxidizing gases. These readings are combined to give you an Air Quality Index (AQI) indicator. The kit also measures temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, displaying all results on the Novaduino® 2.4” touchscreen color display powered by open-source software on an Arduino-compatible Feather* processor. Because the system is open source, you can add more sensors and personalize the display.

The kit comes with high-accuracy sensors and offers optional 3D-printed enclosures for a sleek look.

With provided assembly instructions and free Arduino software, getting started is straightforward.

You'll need to download Arduino C code from GitHub and do some soldering and mechanical assembly.

This developmental hardware and software are provided as uncalibrated and are not intended for use in critical applications. The Environmental Sensor is not designed for safety-related, medical, or end-product purposes. It is offered solely for educational and experimental use, with no warranty or guarantee for any other application.

The AQI, VOC, and eCO2 sensors require at least 48 hours of burn in before values are stable.

Why did you make it?

We made this Environmental Sensor educational Kit to demonstrate our Novaduino(R) Display technology and to see our air quality directly rather than depend on weather reports downloaded from the Internet.

What makes it special?

• It's educational - learn about building electronics and Arduino programming and 3D Printing
• Provides real time measurements of your air quality, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure
• Print your own case and customize your front panel (or purchase our optional 3D printed case)
• Add more sensors if you like
• The software is open source so you can customize it or write your own.
