INTRODUCTION
The MonkMakes Air Quality Kit for Raspberry Pi is based around the MonkMakes
Air Quality Sensor board. This add-on for the Raspberry Pi measures the quality of
the air in a room (how stale the air is) as well as the temperature. The board has a
display of six LEDs (green, orange and red) that display the air quality and a
buzzer. Temperature and air
quality readings can be read by
your Raspberry Pi, and the
buzzer and LED display can also
be controlled from your
Raspberry Pi.
The Air Quality Sensor board,
plugs directly into the back of a
Raspberry Pi 400, but, can also
be used with other models of
Raspberry Pi, using the jumper
wires and GPIO template
included in the kit.
