# Urban Board

The **Urban Board** is a passive board that contains a selection of low-cost sensors for environmental monitoring, and a connector for a PM sensor. The [measurements](#sensors) it takes depend on the version, but overall, it is capable of measurements such as:

- Temperature and Relative Humidity
- Barometric Pressure
- Noise Level and Frequency Spectrum
- Light (including UV-index after the 2.2 version)
- Air Quality Indicators (depending on the version)
- PM

The **Urban Board** has undergone several modifications throughout its development, and its current version is the **V2.3**. Below you can see all versions:

## Assembly

The **Urban Board** connects to the [Data Board](https://docs.smartcitizen.me/hardware/boards/data-board.md) with the connector labeled `SENSOR BOARD`:
