Assembling your Airowl

Step 1: Getting started.

With the Airowl’s front face acrylic kept upside down place the Airowl PCB over it such that the spacers coincide with the respective holes on the Airowl PCB.

Step 2: Connecting Winsen Laser Dust Module to the Airowl Board.

This step involves the connection of Winsen Laser Dust module to the Airowl PCB. The connector included in the kit is to be used for the purpose. Firstly an end of the connector is carefully inserted into the highlighted port of Dust module. Next, the other end is inserted at the back side of PCB towards the bottom.

Step 3: Placing Arduino Nano on Airowl Board.

Arduino Nano is mounted on the PCB.

NOTE: The correct orientation of the Arduino Nano is such that its USB port should point towards the right side of the Airowl PCB when seen from the top.

Step 4: Placing ESP8266 WiFi Module on the Airowl Board.

Having placed Arduino Nano over the PCB, next the ESP8266 WiFi Module is mounted on the PCB.

Step 5: Fitting spacer studs for the support.

Screw the spacer studs over their defined location, required for the support of Airowl’s back acrylic.

Step 6: Placing the back face of the Airowl.

Place the transparent back acrylic such that the holes on the acrylic coincide over the corresponding studs.

Step 7: Power up your Airowl

Having followed all the above instructions, the hardware assembly of your Airowl is completed.

Now you need to power up the Airowl with the power adapter through the power jack located at the bottom low of the Airowl PCB.

As soon as the Airowl is powered, the eyes of the Airowl starts blinking!

Great! You are done with the hardware assembly, now it’s time to register your Airowl on Indian open data association’s server and do your bit for the society.
