NEW GUIDE: Adafruit PMSA003I Air Quality Breakout #AdafruitLearningSystem #Adafruit @adafruit
Breathe easy, knowing that you can track and sense the quality of the air around you!
The Adafruit PMSA003I Air Quality Breakout is great for monitoring air quality in a compact, plug-in format. Best of all, unlike almost all other similar sensors we’ve seen that are UART interface, this one has an I2C interface, which makes it a great match for single board Linux computers like Raspberry Pi, or even plain Arduino UNO’s that normally would use software serial.
The new Adafruit PMSA003I Air Quality Breakout guide covers everything you need to know to get started sensing air quality. This guide has all the details about the sensor, including pinouts and resource downloads. You’ll learn how to use it with Arduino, and CircuitPython and Python, including example code.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
