Hi everyone, I’m quite new to this world, but really fashinated.
I would like to build some stations and put them outside variuous houses : mine, parents, friends and so on
Since I’d like to to buy some sensors, and pay my myself, I’m doing a bit of search, and I’ve noticed that on amazon / ebay are available some SDS011 kits , that are a little bit cheaper, but I can’t understand if they are fully compatible.
here an example (there are various kits from various sellers)
Hi,
It is a SDS011 which is fully compatible with Sensor.Community but it is not a kit but the sensor and an USB2TTL dongle for developing (I use some for programming sometimes but if you can’t use python or the Arduino IDE it might not be very useful for you). Anyway you would maybe need the white cable.
So to get It ready ASAP , you would rather suggest to buy the preflashed One ? Sorry for the stupid question, I still can’t figure out what the effort could be to get the amazon / ebay sensor fully operating. Apart from the flashing, which Is not a problem, this could be working on a Raspberry Pi 2, or i Need more effort? Programming Is not my best skill
