How to read data from SDS011 sensor via USB serial connection, from http://opengeiger.de/Feinstaub/FeinstaubDatenLogger.pdf

  PPM25LOW=$(echo $INPUT|cut -f2 -d " "|cut -b1-2);

  PPM10LOW=$(echo $INPUT|cut -f3 -d " "|cut -b1-2);

  #zu Dezimal konvertieren
  PPM25LOWDEC=$( echo $((0x$PPM25LOW)) );
  PPM25HIGHDEC=$( echo $((0x$PPM25HIGH)) );
  PPM10LOWDEC=$( echo $((0x$PPM10LOW)) );
  PPM10HIGHDEC=$( echo $((0x$PPM10HIGH)) );

  PPM25=$(echo "scale=1;((( $PPM25HIGHDEC * 256 ) + $PPM25LOWDEC ) / 10 )"|bc -l );
  PPM10=$(echo "scale=1;((( $PPM10HIGHDEC * 256 ) + $PPM10LOWDEC ) / 10 )"|bc -l );

  echo "Feinstaub PPM25: $PPM25"
  echo "Feinstaub PPM10: $PPM10"
done

Vielen dank!

Really helpful to quickly get started / test the sensor / get a few readings. :)
