Warn residents of mold-friendly atmosphere and log opened windows.

This project is being developed in AVR_C on an Atmega328p. It provides:

  • Temperature, Humidity Logging (every minute with flash storage for two years)
  • LED warning to motivate the opening of windows or turnign on of heaters
  • Serial terminal via USB-C
  • ~5uA power consumption at 3V battery power

The PCB is designed in KiCad and manufactured by Aisler.

Questions

How big is the Mold detect PCB?

It measures 57 × 57 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.67 mm thick.

What parts does the Mold detect use?

46 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU, TPL5010EVM, FT230XS-R and SHT30-DIS. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Mold detect KiCad files?

From the christopher-besch/mold_detect repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mold_detect.kicad_pcb and its schematic mold_detect.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mold detect design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
