Key points
- Easy assembly and operation: The Earth Listener takes just 15 minutes to assemble and requires no soldering. This makes it an excellent choice for both electronics beginners and experienced hobbyists.
- Comprehensive environmental monitoring: The Earth Listener measures key environmental values such as eCO², TVOC, atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity. Gathering this information is crucial for a thorough understanding of the air quality in a space, contributing to a healthier living or working environment.
- Lightning detection: When the sensor detects lightning or electrical discharges (up to a distance of 40 km), an alert signal is activated.
- Data logging and storage: All data can be stored on an SD card (not included). This can be especially useful for monitoring changes in air quality over a period of time or for evaluating the effectiveness of measures to improve air quality.
- Made in Belgium: Whadda is an exclusive brand of the Belgian group Velleman that offers DIY projects for hobbyists or makers interested in delving into electronics, programming, and mechanics.
Description
The Earth Listener is an Arduino-based sensor module that measures various environmental values to display air quality. This kit can be assembled in 15 minutes, and no soldering iron is required! Connect the parts and wires, place everything in the enclosure, and plug it into a 5V USB port.The Mega development board is pre-programmed and displays eCO², TVOC (particulate matter), atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity values on the TFT touchscreen. The Earth Listener also includes a lightning detector. If lightning (or an electrical discharge) is detected, the Earth Listener emits an alarm tone and measures the distance to it. Since everything is open source, you can add 6 additional sensors to the Earth Listener via the sensor shield. Logging is possible via a micro SD card (not included).
