      Air Quality Meter
         
       

The point of this project is to learn how to configure a Lantronix Xport. The microcontroller (Arduino) is connected to an Xport, which connects to a some PHP code that parses through the information on the site, and represents this physically on a meter. The numbers of the air quality is translated to electrical pulses which controls the meter.

There were some minor glitches with this project. If you do this project, do it during the day, because their site regularly updates this information at around 5pm. Also, the PHP code should be concise because the Arduino chip (Atmel 8) was having difficulties with processing this information.
