PM Board¶
The PM Board is an expansion board which can provide additional measurements, such as two extra Plantower PMS 5003, one wire temperature sensors and extra GPIO and ADC support. This is done with a custom designed PCB with an MCU to provide I2C connectivity with the Data Board.
Design¶
The PM Board runs a dedicated ARM M0+ 32-bits, the same as the Data Board to provide a unified hardware architecture. The board includes an higly efficient step up to provide 5V to drive the PM sensors and a disable/enable circuit to turn off the sensor by software.

SERCOM distribution¶
Setup¶
The board is connected to the Data Board using the AUX connector. Before, the Plantower PMS sensors need to be connected. The board will autodetect the PMS sensors and present them seamlessly to the main Firmware running on the Data Board. Multiple sensor board can be daisy-chained as seen on the image.
