… about the value of air quality, while simultaneously introducing them to some core STEM concepts, Arduino has you covered. The Arduino Greenhouse Kit and the Arduino Explore IoT Kit include experiments involving air quality, allowing users to build their own sensors and tracking tools to measure a range of data points like humidity, moisture, and the presence of particles like CO2. These projects both work using the Arduino MKR IoT Carrier Rev2, which has a VOC sensor. Use AI to monitor air quality [October 10, 2024 update] The Nicla family now includes the Arduino Nicla Sense Env, ready to provide real-time data on air quality – monitoring temperature and humidity and detecting TVOCs, NO2, O3, and other gasses – both indoors and outdoors, thanks to AI-ready Renesas sensors.
