GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing our product. In the following, we will show you what you should pay attention to during commissioning and use. Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please feel free to contact us.
BASICS
This high quality sensor kit is specially designed for the most popular open- source platforms in Germany. It is compatible with the following single-board computers: Raspberry (all models), Arduino, Banana PI, Cubieboard, Cubietruck, Beaglebone, pcDuino and the microcontrollers (atmega, AVR, Microchip PIC, STM32 etc.). For Raspberry Pi and Arduino, we provide detailed instructions below. It contains a description of the respective sensors, the pinout as well as a programming example for Raspberry and Arduino. Through this, even programming beginners and students can easily develop and carry out their own tests, projects and experiments. So you have in no time at all the possibility to check your heartbeat or measure the room temperature and humidity in your environment. measure. Especially for the Raspberry Pi, the set includes an Analog-Digital converter and a voltage translator. You can either solder the sensors or put them on a breadboard to work on different circuits or experiments.
THE BREADBOARD
With the help of the breadboard, user-defined circuits can be designed easily and clearly. The first and last 30 columns + and – are connected vertically. The rows are connected from A to E and from F to J horizontally. These interconnected columns and rows are marked in green here.
SENSOR KIT X40
The high-quality SensorKit X40 was specially developed for operation with the most popular open-source platforms. It is compatible with single-board computers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, Cubieboard, Cubietruck, Beaglebone, pcDuino) and microcontrollers (atmega, AVR, Microchip PIC, STM32 etc.). The kit consists of a total of 40 different sensors which are either can be soldered or plugged on a breadboard to work on different circuits or work on different circuits or experiments. Detailed instructions with code examples for each of the components included in the sensor kit, for both Arduino and Raspberry Pi, can be found at the following link: sensorkit.joy- it.net
GP2Y1014AU – OPTICAL DUST SENSOR
The GP2Y1014AU is an optical sensor for the detection of dust particles. By means of an integrated infrared diode and a phototransistor, the light reflected by the dust is detected and can thus be determined in an analog value.
USE WITH THE RASPBERRY PI
Since the dust sensor is an analog sensor and the Raspberry Pi has no analog inputs, you have to use the analog to digital converter from the sensor kit (KY-053).
CONNECTION
Connect the sensor to your Raspberry Pi as shown in the following picture and table.
INSTALLATION
To be able to use the Analog to Digital Converter, you must install the required library.To do this, open the terminal and enter the following command:
Now enable the I2C interface by opening the Raspberry Pi configuration menu
using the following command:
Select here the option Interfacing Options and activate there the I2C
interface. The analog-digital converter is now ready for use. Now create a new
program file with the following command:
Now copy the following sample code completely into the file you just created:
Now save the file with the key combination CTRL + O, confirm with Enter and exit the file with the combination CTRL + X. You can now execute the program with the following command:
USE WITH THE ARDUINO
In the following explanations and illustrations we use an Arduino Uno.
However, you can also easily use another Arduino can be used.
CONNECTION Connect the sensor to your Arduino as shown in the following picture and table.
INSTALLATION
For programming the Arduino we recommend the Arduino IDE. You can download and
install it here. Then copy the following code example in your Arduino IDE and
transfer it to your Arduino.
CCS811 – AIR QUALITY SENSOR
The CCS811 is a gas sensor used to monitor air quality and can measure a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The sensor’s data can be converted to a total volatile organic compound (TVOC) or carbon dioxide equivalent (eCO2) level.
The module also has a metal oxide (MOX) sensor and the option to connect an NTC for temperature measurement.
USE WITH THE RASPBERRY PI
-
CONNECTION
Connect the sensor to your Raspberry Pi as shown in the following picture and table. -
INSTALLATION
To be able to use the sensor, you must first install the required libraries.
To do this, open the terminal and enter the following commands:
Additionally now the I2C baud rate must be reduced. Open your config.txt file with the following command:
Add the following line to the end of the file:
Now save the file with the key combination Ctrl + O, confirm with Enter and exit the editor with Ctrl + X. Now that the sensor has been connected and the required libraries have been installed, the program file can be created:
Copy the following sample code in its entirety into the file you just created:
Now save the file and run it with the following command:
USE WITH THE ARDUINO
CONNECTION Connect the sensor to your Arduino as shown in the following picture and table.
INSTALLATION
To be able to use the sensor, you must first install the required install the
required library. To do this, open the Arduino IDE and click on Sketch ->
Include Library -> Manage Libraries.
Now enter CCS811 in the window that opens and install the Adafruit CCS811 Library by Adafruit.
Now copy the following code example into your Arduino IDE and transfer it to your Arduino.
INFORMATION & TAKE-BACK OBLIGATIONS
Our information and take-back obligations under the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)
Symbol on electrical and electronic equipment: This crossed-out trash can means that electrical and electronic equipment does not belong in the household trash. You must hand in the old equipment at a collection point. Before handing in, you must separate used batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the old device from the old device.
Return options:
As an end user, when you purchase a new appliance, you can return your old
appliance (which performs essentially the same function as the new one
purchased from us) for disposal free of charge. Small appliances with no
external dimensions larger than 25 cm can be returned in normal household
quantities, regardless of the purchase of a new appliance.
