The Simple Air Sensor is a prototyping and onboarding kit for study design around air sensing. It is also part of an effort to develop an open source project and community that functions similarly to #PurpleAir, so that, over time, people can transfer the expertise they've developed as #PurpleAir users regarding installation, organizing, communication, etc to an open source ecosystem. In this way, this kit offers an "offramp" from a corporately controlled, closed source project that lacks public forums for asking and answering questions, or for organizing and advocating around the data collected. NOTE: The colored light displayed by this sensor is not related to the Air Quality Index (AQI) colors in any way. Uses
ContextThis project emerged from observations that while many people share an understanding of the importance of "right to know" laws and of the purpose that transparency serves in a society, here is much less awareness of the fragility of technology, and the (inadvertent) gate-keeping role of expertise that leaves people without a pathway to "knowing how they know." This project is part of a longterm effort to encourage a culture of empiricism. More about what's in the Simple Air SensorThis sensor circuit uses the same type of particle detector as the #PurpleAir sensor, but only one as compared to #PurpleAir's two; does not include a temperature, humidity and pressure sensor as the Purple Air does; and instead of logging either to the cloud or to the device itself, it displays a red/yellow/green light that illustrates the PM2.5 levels it detects without converting into an Air Quality Index (AQI). This project is part of an ecosystemQuite a few people have built simple open source, Arduino-based devices around the cheap #plantower particulate air sensor datasheet, see:
This is a version that is easy to assemble (no soldering, just push wires into a breadboard), and comes pre-programmed. We also offer it assembled and ready to plug in in the Public Lab Store. Parts List

This barebones onboarding kit will help you explore how the particulate sensor used in the closed source #PurpleAir responds to air conditions through a simple colored light readout. NOTE: The colored light is not related to the AQI colors in any way. For context, this kit aims to grow into a open source project that functions similarly to #PurpleAir so that, over time, people can transfer the expertise they've developed as #PurpleAir users regarding installation, organizing, communication, etc. Conceptually, it's an offramp from a corporately controlled, closed source project without public forums for asking and answering questions, or organizing around data. There are other, more complex, open source projects that aim to be similar to #PurpleAir, see:
This barebones sensor circuit uses the same type of particle detector as the #PurpleAir sensor, but only one as compared to #PurpleAir's two; does not have a BME280 temperature, humidity and pressure sensor as the Purple Air does; and instead of logging either to the cloud or to the device itself, it displays a red/yellow/green light based on PM2.5 levels it detects. NOTE: The colored light is not related to the AQI colors in any way. Quite a few people have built simple open source, Arduino-based devices around the cheap #plantower particulate air sensor datasheet, and this is a bare-bones version that is easy to assemble (no soldering, just push wires into a breadboard), and comes pre-programmed. We also offer it assembled and ready to plug in in the Public Lab Store. Parts List
