Arduino compatibility

[Roberto6969]

Could be this library adopted to Ardino (Uno, Mega, ...)?

Thank You!

Hi.
What does not work?
Paste error.

[Roberto6969]

It seems as speed is not setup correctly (but it is, 9600 in this case). This is from serial monitor:

[fu-hsi]

I don't have Uno or Mega, but library is compatible with Arduino.
It's nice to see all your code and circuit.

[Roberto6969]

Some background info: I using Mega 2560 PRO MINI board. I have tested jbanaszczyk/pms5003 library and iz works well as long as I have read procedure in main loop. Soon as I move read procedure out of the main loop to the separate function I receiving CRC Error all the time. That's why I would like to test your library - also with read procedure out of main loop.

[Roberto6969]

I did not change the code - it is your's Advanced from Examples. USB/COM adapter is connected to RX/TX lines on 2560 board

[fu-hsi]

Yes, but without circuit I don't know what pins you are using.
I don't have this board and I see that many UART ports is available.
Just check wiring, try another pins, software or hardware serial.
Most of the problems comes from bad connection.
Also if you left original pins declaration in code... This can be a problem too.
Sorry.

[Roberto6969]

2560 has its own RX/TX pins (RX=4, PE0, TX=5, PE1). I believe this is the problem.
Do you mean pin definition in your code? I can not find any pin definition. From the HW point of view is everything OK because board/PMS works with other library

[fu-hsi]

I can not find any pin definition.

You are right, my mistake. I mean Serial, Serial1, Serial2...
But when you use SoftwareSerial, you can choose any pins.

[Roberto6969]

Yes, you are right - I have to use SoftwareSerial also. In my case definition is following:
// Using AltSoftSerial:
// Pin 4: Digital pin 9 (there is no choice)
// Pin 5: Digital pin 8 (there is no choice)
// in file pmsConfig.h: Enable #define PMS_ALTSOFTSERIAL
// Install DrDiettrich' fork of AltSoftSerial Library: https://github.com/DrDiettrich/AltSoftSerial.git

Hi @fu-hsi I'm in the same boat as roberto, although I might be a newbee at this (pls keep in mind). I'm trying to make your code work with SoftwareSerial but can't seem to make it work. Any guidance on the matter?

As of now i've tried to define softserials as pin (3,2). my code below:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include "PMS.h"

SoftwareSerial pmsensor(3,2);
PMS pms(pmsensor);
PMS::DATA data;

Hi.

I have same issue. How to connect to Arduino using SoftwareSerial??

Thank You.

[Roberto6969]

Try to avoid using Software emulation of serial port if you want to live in peace for long time ;-)
This PMS library works great so the best way is to use board which has two HW ports. The same is valid for other PMS libraries!

Hi all. I am also relatively new and I have been trying to set up using this. I have the library loaded and am using the basic and advanced example but they are returning "no data". I have the pms1003 set up on an uno with the gnd, vcc and TX&RX pins (1,0). I also have a logic converter for the tx/rx pins. I'll attach a diagram. I was wondering if anyone has any insight into why this might not be working. Do I need to alter something on the code that I am missing? Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm using a WEMOS D1 R2 with SoftwareSerial. Seems to be working fine for me.

The TX and RX pins of the pms5003 are connected to my arduino at TX->D3 and RX->D4.

Below is the code that I'm using. Hope it helps

#include "PMS.h"
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial pmsSerial(D3, D4);

PMS pms(pmsSerial);
PMS::DATA data;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);   
  pmsSerial.begin(9600);  
}

void loop()
{
  if (pms.read(data))
  {
    Serial.print("PM 1.0 (ug/m3): ");
    Serial.println(data.PM_AE_UG_1_0);

    Serial.print("PM 2.5 (ug/m3): ");
    Serial.println(data.PM_AE_UG_2_5);

    Serial.print("PM 10.0 (ug/m3): ");
    Serial.println(data.PM_AE_UG_10_0);

    Serial.println();
  }

  // Do other stuff...
}

I'm trying to use seeya post to solve my issue I'm migrating from another library to https://github.com/fu-hsi Library but I get no response, I need to use D7 & D8 (also try with GPIO 13,15) in a wemos and it compiles ok but does not work. here is my code:

---

#include "PMS.h"

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial pmsSerial(13,15); // RX | TX / D7 = GPIO 13 , GD8 = GPIO 15

PMS pms(pmsSerial);
PMS::DATA data;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); // GPIO1, GPIO3 (TX/RX pin on ESP-12E Development Board)
pmsSerial.begin(9600); // D7 = GPIO 13 , GD8 = GPIO 15
Serial.print("started...");
}

void loop()
{
if (pms.read(data))
{
Serial.print("PM 1.0 (ug/m3): ");
Serial.println(data.PM_AE_UG_1_0);

Serial.print("PM 2.5 (ug/m3): ");
Serial.println(data.PM_AE_UG_2_5);

Serial.print("PM 10.0 (ug/m3): ");
Serial.println(data.PM_AE_UG_10_0);

Serial.println();

}

// Do other stuff...
}
