Story

1 / 3 • A front view of the device and power adapter.

This is a project that I entered in this year's Hackaday Prize and I thought that I would share on the Arduino Project Hub. It is meant to detect and track cigarette smoke in an enclosed environment. I have accomplished this by using a Seeeed Studio Grove dust sensor. A compatible sensor can be found in the hardware section.
