Smart Citizen Kit 2.1

The Smart Citizen Kit is aimed at providing a low-cost environmental sensor solution non-technical users can quickly deploy. The design developed for the project is a complete reiteration of the Smart Smart Citizen Kit, a piece of hardware for citizen sensing already tested in other projects for more than five years. On this iteration, new sensors had been added, and all the electronic design has been redone from the ground up to improve the data accuracy and reduce the manufacturing costs. The design is built around two boards the Smart Citizen Data Board and the Smart Citizen Urban Sensor Board. The first board contains the data acquisition, power management, and the communication unit. The second contains a set of sensors aimed at the outdoor urban environment including Particulate Matter, Air Temperature, Relative Humidity, Noise Level, Ambient Light and Barometric Pressure.
