This is a python 3 interface to the SDS011 air particulate density sensor. The datasheet, which this implementation follows, can be found here.

Depends on pyserial.

API

>>> sensor = SDS011("/dev/ttyUSB0", usequerymode=True) >>> sensor.query()  # Gets (pm25, pm10) (15.6, 20.3) >>> sensor.sleep()  # Turn off fan and diode >>> sensor.sleep(sleep=False)  # Turn on fan and diode >>> time.sleep(15)  # Allow time for the sensor to measure properly >>> sensor.query() (16.2, 21.0) >>> # There are other methods to configure the device, go check them out.
