### Result
 The value detected from the PM2.5 module display on the OLED screen.

## Python Programming 


### Step 1

Download the package and unzip it: [PlanetX_MicroPython](https://github.com/lionyhw/PlanetX_MicroPython/archive/master.zip)

Go to  [Python editor](https://python.microbit.org/v/2.0)

### Step 2

### Reference

```
from microbit import *
from enum import *
from pm25 import *

pm2_5 = PM25(J1)
while True:
    print(pm2_5.get_pm25())
    sleep(1000)

```


### Result
 The value detected from the PM2.5 module display on the micro:bit.
