I was selected by element14 and Renesas to take part of the Summer Of Sensors - In the Air Tonight challenge.
For this challenge I want to build a sensor project that tracks air quality in my garage and in my house in rooms near the garage.

Sounds like the kit comes with 3 sensors too, so you can connect them all together in parallel, set their I2C addresses to be different and then you can communicate with them all from the same micro.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also from glancing through the datasheet I see their is something they call an &amp;quot;alert&amp;quot; pin which is basically an interrupt pin which you can configure to trip at certain thresholds, so that might be something interesting you might want to use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sounds like a fun project! Looking forward to seeing how you get on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=24477&amp;AppID=381&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
