Air Quality Index Dashboard Kit with Arduino Uno + Sensor
Build a Real-Time Air Quality Index Dashboard with Arduino Uno & Precision Sensors
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn your Arduino Uno into a standalone air quality monitoring station that calculates the AQI using real PM2.5, CO2, and VOC data. The colour TFT screen instantly shows a traffic light system—green for safe, yellow for moderate, red for unhealthy—along with a plain-language recommendation like ‘Open windows’ or ‘Wear a mask outdoors.’ This dashboard works without any Internet connection, making it ideal for school labs, hackathons, and portable environmental sensing.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional AQI monitor on a breadboard that continuously samples airborne particles and gases. The display updates every few seconds with PM2.5 concentration, CO2 ppm, the estimated AQI number, and the coloured traffic light. The dashboard also logs peak values, so you can track air quality changes over a lab session or a full day—exactly what’s needed for a compelling science exhibit or a data-driven hackathon demo.
What You'll Learn
- Read PM2.5, CO2, and VOC sensors simultaneously with Arduino Uno
- Convert raw sensor readings into a unified Air Quality Index score
- Drive a 1.8‑inch colour TFT display to show live data, traffic light, and text alerts
- Implement conditional logic for health recommendations based on real‑time sensor thresholds

Who This Kit Is For
This AQI Dashboard Kit is designed for CBSE Class 11–12 students building informatics or environmental projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates prototyping sensor networks, and teams participating in the Smart India Hackathon or ATL Tinkering Lab innovation challenges. It’s also a strong starting point for anyone preparing an air quality project for a college fest, state-level science exhibition, or an IIT/NIT workshop.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to open the AI companion trained on this kit; it guides you step by step through wiring, code upload, and calibration. You can also send a WhatsApp message to our support team for a direct human reply.
Can I add an IoT feature to upload data to the cloud?
The kit is designed as a standalone dashboard, but the Arduino Uno’s UART pins and the included jumper wires let you connect an ESP8266 or ESP32 module (not included) to send AQI data to ThingSpeak or Blynk.
Is this kit suitable for a school science exhibition?
Absolutely. The traffic light display and real‑time AQI calculation make it visually compelling. The build time of 3–4 hours fits within typical project submission deadlines, and everything runs on a 9V battery
PMS5003 PM2.5 + MQ-135 + CO2 combined into AQI score. TFT shows traffic light and recommendation.
