This is a nifty device. It occurred to me that you could potentially use all of these features in your car, pair it with your smartphone, and use that to relay data back to your home server. It would make sense to measure cabin air quality, and you can use the accelerometer to detect driving behaviors.
Hi great and helpful video. I have been attempting to implement the temp, humidity, and pressure sensors using the standalone example in the arduino IDE. I am having some issues with the boards such as many warnings when compiling and errors with uploading such as the port not being found. However, on some attempts I am able to upload the sketch (With many warnings). When this happens I am experiencing the temperature reading to steadily rise from 30 C - 33 C despite the room being approx room temp (about 23 C). Any advice on how to trouble shoot these issues?
I would look into calibrating the sensors, i did come across that information in the Bosch sensors sdk/documentation linked from the nikla sense page. That should allow you to modify the arduino library and control the error your seeing in the reads. I’ll update this if i get the chance to lookup the docs referenced.
I see that you have the Arduino BLE Peripheral code by which you advertise your service, but where is the BLE central code? Don't you have to receive the Bluetooth data and decode it? 12/27/22
Interesting. I will likely give it a try using MQTT with HomeAssistant, grafana, and influxDB. BLE is not a very reliable mechanism IMHO. Of course that means tying it to a wifi module (ESP most likely). I 3D print lots of ABS, so it will be interesting to test the air quality side of that. I already use accelerometers on my Klipper-based printers to do resonance tuning...
Agree about BLE, definitely not good for a safety applications but apply some ml to the data and may identify conditions that lead to further investigation.
I was amazed by the tools you have. You designed and built everything in that shop with such seeming ease. Great stuff!

his setup / tech room is turning me on *fire emoji x3*
Your intro is great. Nice one
The BME688 doesn't measure CO2. It only measures VOC and applies a transformation to that reading to report eCO2.
thank you for that clarification!

I cant wait to hear more about your project! ;)
Don't forget to remove line 95
while(!Serial);
before you use it untethered :D
Excellent video. How is the 3mm acrylic lens held in place?
Très bonne vidéo ! Le .ino a t-il été écrit par vous ou sinon où pouvons nous le trouver ?
super video, thanks a lot
