Particulate matter sensor

With the SDS011 it is possible to determine the fine dust concentration in the air. The sensor outputs two values: The concentration of PM2.5 (particles < 2.5 um) and PM10 (particles < 10 um). This sensor is equipped with a small fan to suck in air. Inside it there is a laser which, together with a photodiode, measures the number of particles. The results of the measurements are given in µg/m³ (microgram per cubic meter).

Programming (Arduino)

#include "SenseBoxMCU.h"
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>

SDS011 my_sds(Serial1) // Serial1 gibt hier den Seriellen Port an, an dem du den Sensor angeschlossen hast
float p10,p25

```arduino
void setup(){
    // Normalen seriellen Port initialisieren 
    Serial.begin(9600);
    while(!Serial);
    // Seriellen Port an dem unsere Sensor angeschlossen ist initialisieren
    Serial1.begin(9600);
    delay(5000);
}

void loop(){
    // Variablen den gemessenen Feinstaubwerte zuweisen
    p10 = my_sds.getPm10();
    p25 = my_sds.getPm25();
    //Werte in der Konsole drucken
    Serial.println("P2.5: "+String(p25));
    Serial.println("P10:  "+String(p10));
    delay(1000);
}

Programmierung (Blockly)

In Blockly the sensor can be read out via the following block:

Select the port to which you have connected the sensor and the measured value via the drop-down menu.

  • PM2.5: Fine dust fraction below 2.5 µg/m^3
  • PM10: Fine dust fraction below 10µg/m^3
