Soldering is quiet fun while the fumes during the soldering are harmful to our health. Thus, it’s a must to have a fume extractor. Now, the ANAVI Fume Extractor is a great choice for all the makers.
“ANAVI Fume Extractor is a smart, open source, solder smoke absorber. It is powered by a Wi-Fi development board with an ESP8266, an 80 mm fan, and a replaceable filter. ANAVI Fume Extractor has dedicated slots for a mini OLED I2C display and an MQ-135 gas sensor module, as well as slots for up to three additional I2C sensor modules for measuring temperature, humidity, light, and barometric pressure. Furthermore, there are UART pins for easy flashing of custom firmware and an extra GPIO for connecting external peripherals. “
ANAVI Fume Extractor is an entirely open source project which combines open source hardware and open source software. It is certified by the Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) with UID BG000060.
ANAVI Fume Extractor can work with popular open source home automation software tools like Home Assistant, OpenHAB, and ioBroker through the lightweight messaging protocol MQTT. With its default open source firmware, it can also connect the Wi-Fi network to gather data from various sensors and control it remotely. For anyone interested in IoT, coding, and open source, it can also serve as a development board for the home automation projects.
ANAVI Fume Extractor comes as a DIY kit. Don’t worry, it is quite easy to assemble.
