Revisions
First prototype
Severin bought a kit full of different Grove sensors a while back, to build a device to measure air quality and other things.
Currently, it only runs an Arduino sketch to output measurements to the serial port. But the ultimate idea is to build something similar to AirCasting.
Station at CCCamp15
Reviving the idea, a small weather & air quality station was built at CCCamp15, with these parts. It used not all sensors, but measured UV, temperature, humidity, air pressure, and PM2.5, uploading all that to OpenSenseMap. Code is here: https://github.com/tiefpunkt/airqualitystation

Home Prototype
In order to test the particulate matter sensor, a prototype with a Shinyei PM sensor, a DHT22, a fan, and an ESP8266 was build.
