Kayla Evans 11/11 Final Project In-Progress

The 6-pin JST components I ordered from Sparkfun weren't the right size either, so I dismantled them and connected the wires directly to the pins of my dust sensor. I connected wires directly to my second dust sensor as well. Although I've tested one of my dust sensors hooked up in this way, and it successfully transmits data, I'm still worried about how sturdy this set up is.


Moreso, I tested one of my dust sensors, and while it's mostly successful at sending data, I still have to iron out a lot of kinks with the code. This test proves it's sending data, but it doesn't seem to be sensing the amount of particles present.

And myself using a different baud rate in both the serial monitor and code, creating "mismatched" baud rates:
