All, I’m a newbie but I’ve gone through the normal simple explanations for errors and I can’t find out what’s wrong. I’ve successfully loaded the appropriate scripts onto the Pi and I’m getting output onto my MacBook Terminal. I’ve also established / registered with Sensor Community using the instructions and avoiding the pitfalls noted by others. ![Screenshot 2022-05-03 at 15.03.35](https://forum.sensor.community/uploads/default/original/1X/c2c18c159601231784e1bd6a8dad8ebbc3e37b5e.png) What isn’t happening is any update either on the My Sensor page or on the map? - I’ve gone round the houses and I’m bit stuck on where my error is (it will be mine!). Any help appreciated. Goudie Berry! ---

Which code did u use for the raspberry. Is ist well configured to send to the API with the right X-pin? What about the sensors choosed in devices.sensor.community ? I would tell that anyything different from the official instructions should be reserved to very advanced users… I can t say anything about debugging on a raspberry. Or send me one 🤣 ---

May I ask where are the official instructions? I just registered and the page with guidelines [Configure air quality sensor yourself](https://devices.sensor.community) has links only to [https://sensor.community](https://sensor.community), to maps and archive. There are no other instructions links. ---

@sikorka For the installation instructions of the Enviro+ you need to look at “[An outdoor air quality station with Enviro+ and Luftdaten](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/enviro-plus-and-luftdaten-air-quality-station)” . This is a product maintained by Pimoroni, not us. ---

Thank you for your answer. I mean official instructions. Because I have Enviro+ / PMS5003 with Raspberry Pi Pico W, not with Raspberry Pi. I just need to know where are API descriptions and how to make calls, if there is some auth to do etc. In the mean time I will look at the code from article you sent. Thank you! ---

Hi @sikorka you can find an API description on how to send data to us at [EN APIs · opendata-stuttgart/meta Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/opendata-stuttgart/meta/wiki/EN-APIs#more-detailed-description) There is no auth, you only need to register your device first at [https://devices.sensor.community/](https://devices.sensor.community/) . You should use “raspi” as sensor board and the serial no. of the CPU as the sensor ID. ---

Thank you so much! I checked the docs and my calls seem legit. I took the serial number from Pico as the [C code returns it](https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk/blob/master/src/rp2_common/pico_unique_id/unique_id.c#L44) and ofc [preceeded it with `raspi-`](https://github.com/sikorka/enviro/blob/a1f5bc9d5d85b4835511c8d9143efe534e576274/micropython/pico/enviroplus/sensors/sensorcommunity/main.py#L560). [Pico Enviro+](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pico-enviro-pack?variant=40045073662035) comes with a bit higher version than BME280. I didn’t know how to select the BME688, so it is left with BME280. Anyway it works! So exciting 🙂 ---

@sikorka , based on your work, I wrote a destination for the official firmware: [feat: Add Sensor.Community data destination by fangfufu · Pull Request #237 · pimoroni/enviro · GitHub](https://github.com/pimoroni/enviro/pull/237/files). Thanks for the inspiration.
