If you want to be a part of this project, you can certainly become one. Every help is welcome. This is a hobby project, which means that the budget as such does not exist.

If you are interested in the project and want to:

  • help the project and/or the Sensorbox team
  • put together your own station
  • donate the equipment
  • become a partner
  • join our team

you can contact us via e-mail: Project Sensorbox


How can I help

  • you have a RaspberryPi 2+ device that you are not using and you are ready to give it away or sell it at a discount price, we are open to a deal.
  • you have a place that can be used to store the station (sheltered from direct sun, rain and snow) - dimensions ~30x20x15cm, and you are willing to give up a space, donate electricity (< 2W) and provide uninterrupted internet access (Wi-Fi, ethernet)
  • you want to write articles, and deal with topics related to the portal's content
  • you want to manage social networks for this portal (Facebook, Twitter, Discord, etc.)
  • you want to work on the design of the portal
  • you want to work on the software development of the portal
  • you have a suggestion that you think would be useful to us and is not covered by this list

we will not refuse your help. Feel free to contact us.


The equipment we use

  • Raspberry Pi 2+
  • Nova PM sensor SDS011
  • BME280 temperature, pressure and humidity sensor
  • protective cases
  • PoE adapters (optional)

How to build your own station

The goal of the project is to expand and cover as much of Croatia as possible, especially in places where there are no official sensors for fine particles or in locations that are suspected to be particularly affected by air pollution.
Therefore, what we need the most, are additional stations.

Assembling your own station, essentially, is not that complicated, but it depends on your technical knowledge and prior experience with the Rasberry Pi computers and Linux operating systems.
If we oversimplify the process itself, the construction of the station consists of several steps:


As at this stage there is no document or page with detailed instructions for assembling the station, please contact us for additional guidance and help with the process of building the station at: Project Sensorbox
