IKEA Air Quality Sensor ... Surprisingly small
Air Quality is not so great around here
Pardon my horrid soldering 🙏 ... It tested OK with a multimeter 🎉
Wished IKEA didn't put the pads so close to the surface mounted components ... But we're all done soldering the UART Port! 🎉
IKEA Air Quality Sensor has the same size as a Breadboard 🤔
but good nails, which speaks well of your self-discipline
@amerika Thanks I just trimmed them even shorter, might increase the sensitivity on my fingertips 🤔
@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?
@leviathan Hmmm sorry I'm not so familiar with particle sensors, I just bought one from IKEA to experiment
@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!
@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?😉
@leviathan Probably not right now, but lemme experiment and learn some more about particle sensors 👍
Let's mask out with Sticky Tape ... All the parts that should NOT be soldered 🙏
