You can add another sensor to the AirBeam using the Add-on Sensor Port. The AirBeam board is based on the Arduino Leonardo, so you can reprogram your AirBeam using the Arduino IDE.
#AIRBEAM APP SERIAL#
You can acquire the AirBeam data via the Micro-USB Port or Bluetooth using a serial monitor.
#AIRBEAM APP ANDROID#
The AirBeam is connected to the AirCasting Android app via Bluetooth when the Bluetooth Connection Indicator is solid red and the AirBeam sensor streams appear on the AirCasting App Sensors Dashboard. " (note that you only need to pair once) > return button > press "AirBeam. Launch the app, then navigate: "External devices" > "Pair with new devices" > "Search for Devices" > pair with the device labeled "AirBeam. While operating the AirBeam, be sure to keep the Intake and Exhaust free from obstructions.Ĭonnect the AirBeam to the AirCasting Android Appĭownload the AirCasting app from the Google Play Store. Push the Power Button a second time to power off the AirBeam. The AirBeam is on when the Bluetooth Connection Indicator blinks red. To power on the AirBeam, press down on the Power Button. The Battery Charging Indicator turns solid green when the AirBeam is charging and turns off when the AirBeam is either fully charged or unplugged. The battery charges via the micro-USB port, which can also be used to power the AirBeam directly.

When the battery is fully charged, the AirBeam can operate for 10 hours. The AirBeam has a 2000 mAh 3.7V rechargeable lithium battery. We’ve even included Add-on Sensor Pins on the AirBeam to make adding sensors simple. As an open-source platform, modifying our components to take other measurements and or transmit the data to other websites or apps is easy and encouraged. At the end of each AirCasting session, the collected data is sent to the AirCasting website, where the data is crowdsourced with data from other AirCasters to generate heat maps indicating where PM2.5 concentrations are highest and lowest. Via Bluetooth, these measurements are communicated approximately once a second to the AirCasting Android app, which maps and graphs the data in real time on your smartphone. This light scatter is registered by a detector and converted into a measurement that estimates the number of particles in the air. Air is drawn through a sensing chamber wherein light from an LED bulb scatters off particles in the airstream. The AirBeam uses a light scattering method to measure PM2.5. The AirBeam measures fine particulate matter (PM2.5), temperature, and relative humidity. HabitatMap worked with a community of scientists, educators, engineers, and other non-profits to create the AirBeam. Temperature & Relative Humidity Sensor: MaxDetect RH03
