Arduino Shield for AirCasting. Simpler than their wiring mess.

Revision 1

Hardware

  • Sensors: SHT22, MQ-7, MQ-135
    • Proper heater drive for MQ-7, thanks to Citizen Sensor [1]
  • Board: Prototype milled at OHM2013
  • Issues:
    • MQ-* sensors didn't fit into their holes -> holes to small. Also pads to small, soldering was a pain and required some hacking to the board.
    • Relais fairly loud.
    • Sensors get quite warm

Software

Small Arduino test programm, using some DHT22 Tutorial and this MQ-7 Library (with a few changes to fix stuff) for proper heater driving.

  • All sensors return data that seems legit at first sight.
