Dust Sensor - PMS 5003/6003/7003

[ilak2k]

@MartyMacGyver

So my PMS7003 arrived today... but it might be a bit before I get it working.

You were right - it's small... REALLY small. So small that the 2x5 connector for it is on - get this - 0.05" centers! Not the usual 0.1" centers... 0.05". Fortunately they paired it with an equally tiny socket connector so I have something to wire it to... but it's going to be a challenge either way.

Will update when I've gotten it wired up and connected.

I hope you got the PMS7003 with cable like in this picture here...

Even though the connectors on the sensor side for 5003 and 7003 are different, it looks like the same connector that goes to the micro controller side...

To connect the sensor, I did this:

1. Removed/popped the leads off the small white connector
2. Connected the leads to a header strip, not soldered yet!
3. Fixed the header strip to a breadboard...

So, after one tricky soldering job and a few translations of similar datasheets, I got mine connected and got some data out. Currently it's serial, but I'll probably change that to cloud soon, once I better-understand what all the data means.

Impressive translation @MartyMacGyver. I gotta learn to do this stuff...

Tried your code on PMS5003... Getting this:
