GETTING STARTED
Building your own IAQ starts with deciding which parts you need, including the Raspberry Pi single board computer. Once you have obtained all of the parts, you can connect the hardware together and then load the software. At that point you can perform the final configuration of your device and start enjoying your new air quality meter.
Our Github repository has the full guide to walk you through all of the steps. Below you can find a summary of the different guide sections:
HARDWARE SELECTION
There are a number of options when it comes to selecting hardware for the IAQ. Cost, availability and performance are some factors to consider when choosing your parts.

SOFTWARE SETUP
Learn how to load the IAQ software onto the Raspberry Pi using the balena IoT platform.
CONFIGURING THE IAQ
Learn about the IAQ score, display options, web dashboard, VOC sensor calibration and more in the IAQ usage and configuration guide.
PRINTING AND ASSEMBLING THE CASE
Tips and instructions for printing the IAQ case parts and assembling them into a finished unit are covered in the Case printing and assembly guide.
