Measuare and visualize carbon emissions, using IoT Technology .
Climate can be different for different seasons. Although, we can defined climate as the usual weather of a place. It is normal to have different climates. Nevertheless, we have to know what is normal. You're probably thinking, how do we know when the Earth's climate is normal ? To answer this , we have to understand what Climate change is.
Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place. The changes can be experienced in a number of ways. For instance ,the increase in the climate's temperature or sudden decrease in rainfall in a place could be a result of climate change.Infact, what's more important, is how changes in the earth's temeparature affects how we live on it.
In this little repo ,we measure how much Carbondioxide is emitted from a common emittant "Automobiles" using CO2 Sensors. The data collected from this project is used along with Total distance travalled and ambient temperature. Thereafter, we can analyze the data to make meaning out of it.
As you Naviagate through this repository, you should be familiar with PHP , MQSQL , C , HTML ,CSS and Thingspeak.

See Breadboarding, Schematic , PCB Design and Bill of Materials Below
See breadboarding in the figure below. The ESP32 was not connected to it's default powersource (usb mini). We assume the esp is powered with a voltage "VIN" pin directly from the Hi-Link module. Because unfortunately the esp32 is not built with a VIN pin unlike the nodeMCU.
