Breathe is an open-source air quality sensing device.
The project is based on the Adafruit BME680 sensor. The sensor has temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and VOC gas sensing capabilities. The overall goal of the project is to give a general sense of the air quality in an indoor area over time.
Other components used are the Neopixel 8x8 matrix, a small 3.3v fan (to keep pulling in fresh air), and a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Although any Raspberry Pi could be used.
Nerves applications produce images for hardware targets based on the
MIX_TARGET environment variable. If MIX_TARGET is unset, mix builds an
image that runs on the host (e.g., your laptop). This is useful for executing
logic tests, running utilities, and debugging. Other targets are represented by
a short name like rpi3 that maps to a Nerves system image for that platform.
All of this logic is in the generated mix.exs and may be customized. For more
information about targets see:
https://hexdocs.pm/nerves/targets.html#content
To start your Nerves app:
export MIX_TARGET=my_targetor prefix every command withMIX_TARGET=my_target. For example,MIX_TARGET=rpi3- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Create firmware with
mix firmware - Burn to an SD card with
mix firmware.burn
