Just tried testing a SDS011 here & don't seem to be getting a reading.
At this point I have it connected to an ESP32 Dev Board.

Assume TX & RX between the sensor & ESP must be crossed, as Tx-->Tx2 & Rx-->Rx2 gives not reply in the monitor.
Just all Zeros in the replies & then Wrong reply from sensor on reading, so I assume I have it connected correctly now.

Here's what I'm seeing.

Cheers

Phil.

Edit:-

Should also add that gefore connecting I tested the SDS011 with this Windows Software & it reads fine.
https://github.com/Galch/DustViewerSharp

Not sure how old these two sensors are as I've had them in the parts box for maybe 2 years or so.

Hi Phil,

For the connections of the SDS011 to the AQM-III board, please refer to this post:

https://www.meteocercal.info/forum/Threa...5#pid15365

I can't assure that the AQM-III firmware will work with other boards, however by seeing this:

Code:
{"ID":"AQM-III_Outdoor","TID":11,"ts":1633600111,"T":-1,"H":65535,"P":-1,"PM25_last":65535,"PM100_last":65535,"PM25_1H":65535,"PM100_1H":65535,"PM25_3H":65535,"PM100_3H":65535,"PM25_12H":65535,"PM100_12H":65535,"PM25_24H":65535,"PM100_24H":65535,"CO2":0}

I would bet you are trying to run the code without having the BME280 installed. Wink

Thanks Werk,

100% correct & patched at the moment by fudging the missing Humidity to 50%.

Next step will be to begin reading the CCS811/HDC1080 Voc sensor sitting on my desk.

[attachment=2947]

Seems to be plenty of examples of basic sketches to read the 811, will need to search a few to do the HDC1080 as well.

Hoping that's easy to integrate into the main code on a Copy/Paste/Edit basis of existing code blocks.

If all goes good & I get the desired result I plan to purchase another board to build an in indoor hybrid that also monitors Voc's.

Cheers

Phil.

(Expect many questions as my ESP/C+ skills are very limited).

Wink Advantages of the open source code.

I'm no ESP/C++ expert either, just a struggling amateur ReadManual .
Since the AQM-III does not use the CCS811/HDC1080 sensor, I suggest that the subject is not dealt with in this AQM-III support section, but in private or in this area:
