Realtime Air Quality Monitoring System

The Realtime Airquality Monitoring System updates on a Real Time basis the Data of CO, CO2, SO2, NO2 Sensors along with Ambient RH & Temp. The purpose of this is to demonstrate the Nanosensors developed and Fabricated at CeNSE-IISc. Along with Machine Learning and Data Analytics it gives Real Trend of Pollutants in the Environment. The Cloud Hosted Data Base updates all 6 Sensors Data once in ~50secs.

The Design of AQM is based on STM32F411 Arm Cortex M3 Microcontroller and has a Microcontroller board which has a Display Interface, Battery Charging Circuit, GSM Interface, LCD display, Keypad, SD Card Interface and samples the 6 Sensors Data with ADC and Mux Configuration.

The Final unit is connected to Cloud to update all 6 Sensors Data on a Grafana Data base with 1 minute update on a real time basis.

There is a Signal Conditioning Board with Transconductance Amplifier to program the 4 sensor and heater Voltages . In addition a RH/ Temperature Sensor measures the ambient environment condition.

The Firmware is written for boot up and for sensor, heater ramp up happens and reads the sensor current. The values of Each Sensor converted units of levels are done using an appropriate Algorithm.

Housing Design : CAD Modelling is done to Fit the Hardware including batteries and the Enclosure is Sent for Vaccum Casting for Fabrication.
