CONCEPTUALIZATION, PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING STATION USING ARDUINO IDE AND NEXTION EDITOR

Abstract

This paper explores the transformative role of microcontrollers and sensors in modern electronic systems, with a focus on environmental air quality measurement. By leveraging the programmability and integration capabilities of components like the Arduino Pro Mini, coupled with various air quality sensors (e.g., PM2.5, CO2, humidity, temperature), we illustrate how these technologies enhance efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility in data collection and analysis. Through a systematic examination of over 21 case studies and research papers, we demonstrate the practical applications and benefits of these systems in diverse fields such as automation, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between microcontrollers and sensors, highlighting recent advancements in IoT protocols that enable remote monitoring and control. Ultimately, we aim to develop a low-cost, high-precision, and scalable air quality monitoring system that can effectively measure and record pollutant concentrations, offering valuable insights for improved air quality management.
