At the core of the Polverine is the BMV080, the world's smallest PM 2.5 sensor. This miniature marvel represents a quantum leap in particulate matter detection, offering unparalleled precision in a fraction of the size of traditional sensors
Environmental Sensing with AIComplementing the BMV080 is the new BME690, a cutting-edge 4-in-1 environmental sensor that measures gas, humidity, temperature, and air pressure. It features a compact 3.0 x 3.0 x 0.93 mm³ package, making it the world's smallest sensor of its kind. The device incorporates artificial intelligence capabilities for advanced data processing and analysis. Designed for robustness, the BME690 can operate in high condensation environments and offers improved power efficiency compared to its predecessors. It provides valuable outputs such as Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) index and bVOC/CO2-equivalents, making it ideal for various applications including IoT devices, wearables, and smart home systems
Driving this sensor suite is the Espressif ESP32-S3-MINI-1, a dual-core powerhouse that brings Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity to the Polverine. With its 240MHz clock speed and ample memory, it provides the processing muscle needed for complex environmental analysis and IoT applications
The Polverine isn't just about hardware – it's designed with developers in mind. It supports programming through Arduino, Eclipse, or PlatformIO/Visual Studio IDEs, allowing for rapid application development. This flexibility makes it an ideal platform for everything from hobbyist projects to industrial-grade environmental monitoring solutions.
The Polverine's compact size and powerful capabilities make it suitable for a wide range of applications:
- IoT Devices: Seamless integration into smart home and smart city infrastructures.
- Environmental Monitoring: High-precision air quality assessment in both indoor and outdoor settings.
- Industrial Automation: Real-time monitoring for improved safety and efficiency.
- Health Monitoring: Personal air quality tracking for health-conscious individuals.
- Fire Alert Systems: Early detection of potentially hazardous particles in the air
Despite its small size, the Polverine is designed for continuous operation. Its power-efficient design allows for 24/7 sensor processing at low power consumption, making it ideal for battery-operated and always-on applications
The Polverine represents a significant leap forward in environmental sensing technology. By combining the world's smallest PM 2.5 sensor with AI-enhanced environmental sensing and powerful processing capabilities, all in an incredibly compact package, it opens up new possibilities for understanding and interacting with our environment. Whether deployed in smart homes, industrial settings, or urban environments, the Polverine stands ready to provide precise, real-time environmental data, helping to create a cleaner, safer world.
