Dust Sensor



  • I think my dust sensor is working fine with the second sketch i have attached in this post.
    I think some rows are missing in the MySensors sketch

    I can be wrong but my dust sensor didn't work with MySensors sketch, i had to modify it.

    Anyone that have this sensor and a working sketch?

    this is not in use anywhere in the code and if you comment it out it will still compile
    can be deleted
    2.
    You need to connect 6 cables otherwise it will not work.
    In beginning it says

     *   VCC       >>> 5V
     *   A         >>> A0
     *   GND       >>> GND
    

    Here you can find how it must be connected

    hello,

    Thanks for reporting, I will check again here, for I never really successfully managed to have this one working.

    Beside this, the two others (cheaper but good anyway !) are working fine, see my repo here:
    https://github.com/empierre/arduino



  • @flopp
    same experience here,
    The sketch provided by Mysensors.org does not switch on/off the LED used to detect the dust particle (code below with corrections).
    I tested that sensor (Sharp_GP2Y1010AU) with smoke and because it does not have a fan (like the nova fitness SD011) or does not create a draft with a resistor (like the Shinyei PPD42NS) the fumes can go around completely undetected. When i tested the sharp and Shinyei in parallel the later seemed a lot more reliable.
    I also modified the code for the sharp sensor to get the arduino to loop thru multiple readings before sending a smoothed result back to the gateway.
    Code below with lots of debugging.
