Firmware Development for Particle Sensor Systems

Particle sensors play a critical role in environmental monitoring and industrial applications, and their research requires self-made instruments. This project focuses on developing firmware for an STM32 microcontroller to control HV modules and allow precise data acquisition, real-time processing, and communication with a Raspberry Pi as a user interface. The firmware shall ensure robust set voltages up to 5 V, accurate logging of implemented T, RH%, and p sensors, and integration of safety measures. Additionally, a user interface can be realized using the Raspberry Pi.
