Hi guys,
Microcontrollers are a completely foreign concept to me but I would like to do something interesting as a college project. I intend to make a portable air quality sensor using a gps. I would just like some closure before I decide to spend ~€100 on kit.
GPS --- Shield here and module here
Mintyboost for portable power
Mq-7 CO sensor
1. Will All these fit on a netduino board at the same time? Or would I need a breadboard for the CO sensor? Haven't physically seen anything like this before so just need to make sure
2. Do I need to buy a breakoutboard for the sensor? I've searched but cant find out. Why would it be needed?
3. I have abolutely no idea of wiring schematics, resistance and so on. Is there any resource in particular that you've found helpful in this regard?
4. Anything else I should be aware of?
I intend to read most of the arduino books avaiable to learn the basics before experimenting.
Thanks a whole lot for any advice!
