ADEM (Breathe)
summary
A bicycle-mounted, open-source air-quality device for Ghent measures PM2.5 and PM10 and uploads raw readings intermittently to a central server for crowd-sourced mapping. Hardware uses a SparkFun ESP8266, light-scattering particulate sensor, I2C humidity/pressure/accelerometer and GPS (GPS integration is still flaky), 3D-printed modular case, and firmware driven by a state machine. Prototype cost sits near €60 in small runs, calibration and comparability with official stations remain unresolved and large-n deployment is required for useful statistics.
