Design with Sensor_SO2-NO2 in Cirkit DesignerThe Sensor_SO2-NO2 is a highly sensitive and reliable electronic component designed to detect and measure the concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air. It is widely used in environmental monitoring systems, air quality assessment devices, and industrial safety applications. This sensor provides accurate readings of harmful gases, making it an essential tool for ensuring public health and environmental safety.
This circuit uses an Arduino UNO to interface with an MICS2714 NO2 sensor and an MQ-7 CO sensor to measure gas concentrations. The data from these sensors is read by the Arduino and can be stored on an SD card for logging purposes.

This circuit is designed for environmental sensing and monitoring, featuring multiple sensors including a BMP280 for barometric pressure and temperature, a SenseAir S8 for CO2 levels, a PMS5003 for particulate matter, and an SGP41 for VOC and NOx levels. These sensors are interfaced with an ESP32 microcontroller, which likely serves as the central processing unit to collect, process, and possibly transmit sensor data. The ESP32 is connected to the sensors using I2C (SDA/SCL lines) and serial communication (RX/TX lines), and it provides power to the sensors (3V3/VIN lines).

This circuit is designed for environmental monitoring, featuring an Arduino UNO microcontroller interfaced with three different gas sensors: MQ-7 for carbon monoxide (CO) detection, MQ131 for ozone (O3) measurement, and MQ-135 for general air quality assessment. The sensors are powered by the Arduino's 5V output and their analog signals are read through the Arduino's analog input pins A0, A1, and A2 respectively. The embedded code reads the analog values from the sensors and outputs the readings via the serial interface, allowing for real-time monitoring of the gases.

This circuit features an Arduino Nano microcontroller interfaced with an Adafruit SGP30 air quality sensor, an Adafruit SHTC3 temperature and humidity sensor, and a 0.96" OLED display for real-time environmental monitoring. The sensors communicate with the Arduino via I2C, with the SGP30 and SHTC3 sensors providing air quality readings (CO2 and TVOC) and temperature/humidity data, respectively, which are then displayed on the OLED. Additionally, a buzzer is connected to the Arduino and is programmed to activate when CO2 levels exceed a certain threshold, serving as an alert system.
