VOC Monitor

This is a second generation device that educates people about Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Air Quality.

A Raspberry Pi Zero W is used to read data from the VOC sensor via the I2C interface. An RGB LED changes its color based on the measured VOC levels. It can also collect data and upload it to the cloud. This device was:

  • Exhibited at the World Maker Faire held in Queens, NY in September, 2017
  • Featured in the December 2017 of the MagPi magazine from the Raspberry Pi foundation

Here is a video of the device in action where it changes colors when a sharpie is introduced next to the sensor.
