In the Air Design Challenge - Pollen & Allergen Sensing

tomaja

Hi, everyone!

 

This is my first Element14 design challenge - and hopefully not the last one.

First, I have to say thanks to all the sponsors and Element14 for giving me the opportunity to take part in "In the Air" design challenge!

 

Since I'm a new guy here, allow me to introduce myself image

I am a software developer with a lifetime passion for electronics (I hope that this will be enough for me to come up with a sufficiently good design in February).

RC flying is my other passion that I discovered recently.

 

My plan for this challenge is to come up with a simple enough solution for allergen detection. I suffer from allergies caused by a couple of different allergens, pollen is one of them - so my choice for this challenge was natural. Sensing pollen will probably be the most difficult part of this project, since I have no experience with such sensors but I expect to learn a lot.

 

This is the initial design for Pollen and Allergen Sensing project:

I will first try to make all this work using evaluation boards and then try to make it compact by designing a single battery powered device connected to home wireless network.

 

Feel free to share your thoughts and observations.

    Thanks!

    I've done some research and found articles on this topic. It's possible to create such a sensor at home but I'm not sure how much time would this take. I will prefer homemade sensors, however, there are commercial ones that might be useful if making my own turns out to be too much work for a single guy.
