This project involves the construction of a barometric door sensor using basic electrical components such as Particle Argon development boards, an M38 Magnetic Reed Switch, a BMP 280 Barometric Pressure and Altitude Sensor, jumper wires, half-size solderless breadboards, and a digital temperature sensor. This barometric door sensor is a look into just how much the pressure inside a room can change when a door that is initially closed opens. This could be useful in terms of seeking to check for any room pressure imbalances, as they can definitely have a negative effect on a person as well as his or her home. What makes our project stand out from the rest is our incorporation of simple but effective electrical components to show a particular change in pressure that is able to be quantified. Our newly acquired IOT skills enable us to bring our project to life due to the fact that we learned to code for the project and understand the importance of communication between our devices. Below are pictures as well as a Youtube video of the system to illustrate how the components are connected as well as operation. Although not covered in the video, our project produced graphs of the change in temperature, pressure, and altitude. We also arranged for the temperature of the situation to be recorded. Although it was not our focus, we chose to include the graphs of the change in temperature as well as altitude to showcase the vast capabilities of our sensors.
