The Idea Behind My Project is an Air Quality Monitor with an Alert System, This device would continuously measure key air quality parameters and provide real-time feedback to the user. When air quality drops below a safe threshold, the system would trigger an alert to warn the user and prompt action, like ventilating the space or leaving the area.
I care about this project because air quality impacts our health and well-being. Yet, we often overlook it until it becomes a noticeable problem.
Nature's Efficiency: Birds and insects' effortless movement.
Biomimicry: Using natural designs for sustainable technologies.
Decentralized Monitoring: Need for affordable, portable, and energy-efficient solutions.
GRABCAD to download the electronic components that are mounted into the design.
I started drawing sketches for each part, starting with the base, and then I started drawing the other parts, ensuring that each sketch I drew was fully defined. I extruded them 3mm to match the thickness of the wood sheets. Finally, I assembled them
I used Fusion 360 to design my file which will be printed or cut.

The appropriate power source for my project is 5V because all my components do not need more than that, and the most important reason is that I will operate the Arduino via the power source by connecting Vin pin, and if I connect it to more than 5V it will burn out.
The provided code is for an Arduino-based project that uses sensors to monitor environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature, and gas concentration (CO2). It also includes a buzzer, a servo motor, and an LCD to provide feedback and warnings.

MQ-135 Sensor ==> VCC & Gnd & A0
DHT11 ===> VCC & Gnd & pin 7
Servo ===> VCC & Gnd & pin 13
LCD ===> VCC & Gnd & SCL, A5 & SDA, A4
Buzzer ===> Gnd & pin 4
Switch ===> Gnd & Pin 2
Ahmed Ismail helped me connect the wires and assisted me with the welding and installation.
Youssef helped me in coding my project
I had difficulty attaching the wings to the body so that they would be free to move.
solution: I used this pin to hold them together so that it also allows the wings to move.
