I built a prototype “digital nose” almost a decade ago, inspired by this blog post https://web.archive.org/web/20180513090020/http://www.maskau...

I have a friend with Chrons, IBS, and a handful of other gut issues. He wants me to build something like this to help self-diagnose acute issues as they arise. Yes, a fart classifier.

I want to use a smell classifier to identify ripeness levels in agriculture.

I haven’t tested to see if this is even feasible, but I’d like to also use a tool like this for pest scouting in agriculture. If the sensors are sensitive enough to detect small amounts of fungi, arthropod activity, or hormonal shifts, this could be useful for early detection in integrated pest management systems.
