Getting values:
PM1.0: 12 ug/m3
PM2.5: 15 ug/m3
PM1 0: 18 ug/m3

I’m using 2 serials at 9600 and 57600. And getting values from Serial Monitor using both baud rates. But if I decide to use just one, I’m not getting any values… Is the Serial part of the code efficient? Or can I improve the code? Also I’ll be trying to make this work with SparkCorePolledTimer… And then on to power saving operation. And then BLYNK :smiley:
