Refreshing the topic. I had installed a home-made air quality sensor using the sensor from Sharp (GP2Y1010AU0F/GP2Y1010AU0F posted in this forum) and a MQ131 sensor (for ozone). I’ve been logging for a while now but don’t get any exciting result. I do readouts either every 1 second or do a 10-sec average and log to a file.
I’ve noticed a difference between two sensors: GP2Y1010AU0F has an offset of about 0.4-0.5 V which is what the specifications say. The GP2Y1010AU0F has no offset (or 0.04-0.05 V).
I’ve attached a log for one day from both sensors that are installed side by side.
Either our air is that clean or something does not work OK. Can someone post a log for one day from the PurpleAir sensor? I wonder if the dynamics is more interesting there.
PS: I made a smoke from a candle and both sensors reacted immediately. So they should be connected alright. ??
Thanks.
