We’ve had out Enviro+ setup outside through lockdown for an experiment with the kids. All was working fine, but the particulate bit just seems to have stopped working.
I’ve brought it inside and installed a fresh copy of Raspian and gone through the whole set up process again, but still no joy.

luftdaten.py - Reads temperature, pressure, humidity,
PM2.5, and PM10 from Enviro plus and sends data to Luftdaten,
the citizen science air quality project.
Note: you'll need to register with Luftdaten at:
https://meine.luftdaten.info/ and enter your Raspberry Pi
serial number that's displayed on the Enviro plus LCD along
with the other details before the data appears on the
Luftdaten map.

The fan on the PMS5003 spins, so it’s alive. Other bits of the Enviro+ work (light sensor etc), although the screen seems to have given up the ghost?
Anyone any ideas? Or do you think it’s just not enjoyed being outside?
Cheers
