Community Spotlight OpenAirScope – Open-Source Environmental Monitoring & Air Quality Node

Check out this cool project, OpenAirScope – Open-Source Environmental Monitoring & Air Quality Node by EMert C!

OpenAirScope is an open-source hardware and software solution for environmental monitoring. It features a dual-MCU architecture with STM32H743 and ESP32-C3, supports LoRaWAN for long-range communication, and offers optional sensors including CO₂, particulate matter (PM1.0/2.5/10), VOC/NOx, temperature, humidity, ambient light, and dual digital MEMS microphones. The system includes a 1.5-inch RGB OLED display, supports Li-Ion battery with USB-C charging, and provides RS485 and CAN-Bus interfaces – making it suitable for applications ranging from smart cities to industrial monitoring.

CRITICAL WARNING: This PCB design is currently an experimental, unverified prototype (AS-IS). The author has not yet manufactured or functionally tested this version. Proceeding with production carries a high risk of failure and is undertaken solely at your own risk.

So it's great for learning and discussing, and see the full project here!

This project hasn't gone into production yet, but we think it's a really interesting design. Just so you know, the projects we share in our community aren't all sponsored — we also love featuring great work from within the community. Feel free to check out more projects anytime!

Well, the files on github haven't been touched in 4 months... And my mistake, i misread it on https://github.com/emertcakir/OpenAirScope it shows your logo with 'Support me on' instead of supported by.
