This project is a DIY air quality monitor designed to measure and visualize environmental conditions in real time using low-cost sensors and a microcontroller-based platform. It collects data such as particulate matter (PM), gas concentrations, temperature, and humidity, then processes and displays the results on the waveshare 4" display in ASCII.

It currently helps me manage my spring allergies.

The system is built around commonly available components and focuses on accessibility and modularity, making it easy to replicate or expand. Sensor data can be logged over time, enabling trend analysis and a better understanding of indoor or outdoor air quality conditions.

It helps users by visualizing air conditions through an ASCII animation that populates the more particles it discovers in the air. 

It's a practical and customizable solution for anyone interested in environmental monitoring, smart home integration, or learning more about air quality through hands-on experimentation.
