Here's the datasheet for PM1006 LED Particle Sensor inside the IKEA Air Quality Sensor ... Let's use this to decode the UART data

@lupyuen ain't the plantower things much cheaper in comparison to the ikea one?
@kreyren I'm just experimenting with a cheap off-the-shelf IKEA Sensor ... And see what we can do with it 🙂

@lupyuen why not build one from scratch instead? I am currently building one:
IKEA Air Quality Sensor sends something on its UART Port ... Let's capture the binary data with Bus Pirate
https://github.com/lupyuen/ikea-air-quality-sensor#test-with-bus-pirate
Here's how we soldered the UART Port on IKEA Air Quality Sensor
IKEA Air Quality Sensor exposes a UART Port ... Let's sniff it with Bus Pirate
https://github.com/lupyuen/ikea-air-quality-sensor#test-with-bus-pirate
Let's connect IKEA Air Quality Sensor to #LoRaWAN and #TheThingsNetwork ... With Apache #NuttX OS and PineDio Stack #BL604!
#Linux on Mobile Weekly Update: Tow-Boot, GStreamer 1.20, PinePhone Pro Unboxings, an UBports departure and don't miss virtual FOSDEM!
@leviathan Probably not right now, but lemme experiment and learn some more about particle sensors 👍

@lupyuen Also:
In case you're interested, some of my friends from back in Hong Kong and Shenzhen kind of ended up here in Europe as well (most are in Londong, I'm in Portugal), and we're starting now a new startup here (with me as diversity-鬼佬😂 )
Meetings are in Cantonese or 普通话 when I'm around😌 (我的广东话不好😅 )
Maybe you wanna join?😉

@lupyuen That's ok!
We were going to do the same, but maybe you wanna try figure out how to adapt it to measuring 500nm particles and less?
It's an open source project!
@leviathan Hmmm sorry I'm not so familiar with particle sensors, I just bought one from IKEA to experiment

@lupyuen Friend! You might be our rescue!
We need a particle sensor for our LibreSilicon clean room project, as explained here in my video about LibreSilicon, from that timestamp forward:

Maybe you can help us with that?
Wished IKEA didn't put the pads so close to the surface mounted components ... But we're all done soldering the UART Port! 🎉
@rastinza Thanks for the tip! Will try that 👍

@lupyuen In my city there are sensors to measure the quality of the air, and they publish the data online daily.
You could go nearby the area of one of such sensors, write down the reading of yours and wait for them to publish the data.
Do this a few times and you should see if it works decently.
@rastinza Good question ... I'll need an expensive sensor I guess 🤔
