- For a cost less than $20, this box measures the density of dust in the air and uses a beautifully simple "stoplight" interface to let you know when your environment is potentially becoming hazardous.
The circuit schematic, Arduino code, and enclosure designs are available for free, by request. All I ask is you subscribe here, follow me on Instagram and then send me a direct message (or email firthfabrications@gmail.com) with a good email address that I can send the files to.
The bill of materials with links is listed below. Be aware while the total cost per box is only around $18, you'll likely have to buy multiples of some items (i.e. you have to buy 100 resistors, not just 3) that may increase the cost. Also note that some items below are untested alternatives due to lack of availability of my exact components.

Great video! Some coding info would be nice to have! but Awesome project, Kudos!
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the video!
Very good, your device would be very useful in carpentry workshops, would there be a way for you to guide me to know how you did it?
Hey I’m glad you like it. I’m not sure I can guide you through it, but I’m happy to answer any questions that may come up as you go through the process of building one.
Love it! Way to slip in another French cleat too ;)
Always have to incorporate a French cleat
For future videos, I might suggest during editing. Right click your video clips audio track and have a deep look around for an option called "Normalize" This will boost audio levels significantly.
Be aware, it only boosts audio to the highest peak. So normalize clips after you have cut everything together.
(Dont normalize music or added sounds)
ps. love the device.
Have you considered an analogue out put for a more accurate reading?
Thanks for the tips! I’m definitely a novice when it comes to video editing. I’ve not considered an analog output. Interesting idea..
Great video, but your background music levels are about 75% higher than your voice.
I know.. I know...still figuring out this whole editing video thing. I appreciate the feedback though!
@@FirthFabrications Great content though! I plan on making one myself!
@@kjames0603 Awesome! If you have any questions feel free to reach out
