Gas sensor for formic acid in the air

bronfai last edited by

Hello,
I want to know which is the MQ sensor that best suits me to detect formic acid in a closed environment, where there can also be enough CO2. It is about measuring the amount of formic in the air inside a hive after a treatment.
I want to build a meter with Arduino and sensor MQ, is it possible?

@andriej Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch. We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)

It has been a long time but I’ve learned a few things that I wanted to share. This library of information (Thank you NeverDie and others) has been so helpful in my hobby developments. Software Defined Radios for signal analysis. With the help of Andreas Spiess explanation of IQ transformations, I learned about Software Defined Radios and I bought one (RTL-SDR). Using this I can clearly discriminate between effective 433 MHz transmitters and bad ones. Not only is the signal density displayed on the software (SDR#) but so is the frequency. Power Profiler Kit II has been indispensable in watching power usage and seeing into the details of the radio transmission. In effect this thing has saved me from buying an oscilloscope for my simple little bench. Tonight, I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9nycymUd-I It describes common PCB errors. It is too advanced for me, but I did pick-up a few ideas about ground planes (tip #6 from the video). I hope this is of some value for folks.

hey @dirkc, maybe you can trigger your interrupt to rising and falling edge and use millis() to see how long the press was?

Hi everyone Which MySensors lib did you use? The 2.3.2 or the delevopment version? I tried to fix the errors, but they don't appear in the development branch. Only another error which i fixed. Regards, Edi

Of possible interest: Here's a guy who is building an inexpensive open source ethernet controller for stepper motors: What happend to Ethersweep? Project Update! – 12:36— Neumi If you listen to the end, it's revealed that there is now generous funding available which allows people to do this kind of open-source development as a full time job, which is what he is now doing. For that reason, I think there's a good chance he will complete his project within the allowed 6 months., and so by the deadline it will likely be nicely polished.

@skywatch said in Awesome tip: run LinuxFX instead of Windows!: @NeverDie Thanks - Interestingly they show a free version on their site still. Did they revert due to bad publicity? https://www.linuxfx.org/ I stopped following it, but I seem to recollect that the free version was noticeably missing things--otherwise, who'd buy the paid-for version? Anyway, its standing on Distro-watch has fallen considerably. It may seem unfair to niche distros, but I think it's generally better to stick with the more popular distros, unless you have good reason to choose otherwise.
