Description

It's a first trial of mosquito trap.

The aim is to attract the mosquitos with CO2 and UV light and then breath in them with a fan.

the CO2 is generate with a mix of baker's yeast and sugar.

I used a “bubble viewer” to “check” the “CO2 generator”: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B09CQCWKR5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

UV leds:

noctua fan:

as the lights are in 5V and the fan in 12V, I use also a small DCDC converter to get 5V.

I use an arduino nano to read a potentiometer to ajust the speed of the fan with PWM. (see attached arduino program)

Unfortunately the fan is noisy due to the vaccum duct( although I used a noctuafan), and we have not enough mosquito now to test it.

I have tested 2 forms of vaccum duct, the bigger one is more efficient, but make much more noise.

Please test it and improve it! I am sure we can get them all!!
