Dust Sensors

Introduction

In order to measure air pollution dust sensors play an important role. They are often based on an optical system where light, scattered on dust particles is measured. I have 3 different sensors which should allow me to compare results:

Plantower PMS5003. I found 2 manuals for this sensor:
- PMS5003 data sheet
- PMS5003 air quality sensor experiment

The Shinyei PPD42NS

The Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F
- GP2Y1010AU0F data sheet
- GP2Y1010AU0F application note

The Plantower PMS5003 sensor

The pinout table for the PMS5003 is given below (the colors correspond to my cable and yours may well differ)

Pin number	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1
signification	nc	nc	reset (active low)	Tx (3.3V level)	Rx (3.3V level	set pin (3.3V or open: normal working status)	Gnd	Vcc: 5V
on ESP32			D0: GPIO 26	D1: GPIO 22	D2: GPIO 21	n.c.	Gnd	5V
cable color	n.c.	n.c.	black	gray	white	violet (n.c.)	blue	green
